![]() I talked with the manager, who really wants to innovate. She encouraged me to send them an email so I did. It’s definitely not the coffee you would get out of a coffee machine.Ī friend of mine works at the Coffee Star at the TU Delft Library. It’s a more sustainable way of producing coffee because they use less water and, in the end, it has a more tropical taste. ![]() So the coffee bean actually absorbs that layer which gives it a fruity taste. But instead of using water, they leave it to dry. After extracting the pulp, you still have a sticky layer around the bean. The process they use for our beans is different. It takes a lot of water to wash and clean the seed. The process of taking the seed out first requires removing the pulp and washing it. You have a tree with cherries and what you drink actually comes from the seed. What makes our coffee special has to do with the process. As the brand is growing, I’m learning a lot. But I didn’t really know the whole process of how beans are taken from harvest to the end product. It has good sides and bad sides for sure. And like many other manual jobs people can be exploited. I had always known how coffee was harvested. I come from Costa Rica so the coffee culture is really strong. I didn’t know that much before I started this. If you change the temperature or the time a little bit then the bean produces a different taste. You have to check the smell, the time, there are lots of variables. I started to roast them at a place in Amersfoort, but we found a place in The Hague so that’s where I roast them now. We import many kilogrammes of the green coffee beans and I store them in the garage. It actually started in my garage in Delft. People started buying our product and it has grown really fast. This year we registered Tyba Coffee with the Chamber of Commerce and set up a web shop. People started liking the coffee, saying it tasted really good and it was good quality. It just started with a small bag of beans, more like a hobby. I started thinking about bringing the green beans here and roasting them and making something out of that. I always brought coffee here for my friends, family and boyfriend. Then I thought about bringing something from Costa Rica to the Netherlands. I always thought Dutch cheese was delicious so I thought maybe I could start selling it in Costa Rica but the logistics of temperature and transportation were complicated. During that time the pandemic happened and I was trying to figure out what to do. I wanted to start my master’s right away but I couldn’t so I had a gap semester. After the three years of my bachelor’s programme, I had a problem with my visa. So I did the course for a year and then I started my studies. I wanted to study civil engineering but the bachelor’s programme is in Dutch.
