Belgian artisanal coffees are all about passion, quality, and tradition. At O Pequeno Belga, every cup is brewed with beans from Torrefactory, a Belgian coffee roasting company that combines artisanal expertise with a deep respect for flavor. What sets our coffee apart? That little Belgian twist: a hint of chicory, and an unwavering dedication to quality from bean to cup.
The craft of Belgian roasting
Great taste begins with careful bean selection — always premium arabica, often from high-altitude farms where the coffee cherries mature slowly and develop richer, more nuanced flavors. Torrefactory’s approach to roasting is slow and deliberate: each batch’s time and temperature are precisely controlled according to the bean’s origin. This brings out the full aroma and complexity, delivering a cup that’s both powerful and balanced.
Chicory: a taste of Belgian tradition
Adding a touch of chicory to coffee is a long-standing tradition in Belgium and the north of France. Chicory root, when roasted and blended, imparts a gentle bitterness, sweet caramel notes, and a uniquely smooth finish. It elevates the coffee’s natural richness and gives every sip a comforting, authentic Belgian essence you won’t forget.
Torrefactory’s ethical and sustainable promise
Sourcing is as important to us as roasting. Torrefactory works directly with coffee growers, ensuring more ethical pay and more transparent trade. By supporting traceable, sustainable coffee, we honor everyone involved — from grower to roaster to you, our guest.
