{"title":"Kava","description":"\u003cp\u003eBased in Split, Croatia, Kava Coffee Roasters is built around the idea of family — not only as a business structure, but as a way of working. Family extends beyond blood relations to include their team, their community, and the producers and partners they collaborate with. It’s a philosophy rooted in trust, shared responsibility, and long-term relationships. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKava roasts with an emphasis on balance and drinkability, choosing coffees that translate clearly and consistently in everyday brewing. The profiles feel composed and generous, allowing the home barista to approach them with confidence. There is an ease to the experience — a sense that the coffee is meant to be enjoyed rather than decoded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI visited Split in 2022 and experienced firsthand the atmosphere that shapes KAVA’s work. What stood out was not only the quality of the coffee, but the sense of cohesion behind it — the feeling that every part of the process mattered equally. Including Kava in the lineup feels meaningful for that reason: coffee that carries both craft and heart, where the whole is stronger than any single element.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"burundi-mubuga-ngozi","title":"Burundi Mubuga Ngozi","description":"\u003cp\u003e250g bag\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin: Burundi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegion: Ngozi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProducer: Mubuga Washing Station\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVariety: Bourbon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProcess: Natural\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAltitude: 1,660 masl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting Notes: Vanilla, Milk Chocolate, Blueberries\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoast Date: 18 May 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoasted for: Omni\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA comforting yet expressive natural from the hills of Ngozi.
