Our History and Good Fortune...

began 100 years ago in Switzerland, but it was in 1975, while on vacation, that I had the great good fortune of meeting the third-generation roaster of Café La Semeuse, Marc Bloch —— an encounter that would change my life. We became very good friends and, with the passage of time, "chosen brothers".

For years Marc sent La Semeuse for me to enjoy. I knew from the very first sip that this was noticeably better than any other coffee I had ever encountered. Friends and family who tried it shared my excitement. I would later learn that it was in fact La Semeuse' HIGH ROASTINGTM that made this coffee truly exceptional and delicious. My belief in the distinctiveness of this coffee was so strong that when Marc Bloch dared me to introduce Café La Semeuse to this country —— I took the dare.

Since its introduction, La Semeuse can still be found where it started: at the finest specialty stores...at the finest restaurants...and in the finest homes! Take it from the first--of many--loyal drinkers of La Semeuse in this country, you won't believe how good it is until you taste it... The truth is in your cup!

Tastefully yours,

Marc Greenberg, President

Why Cafe La Semeuse is "Never Bitter"

Following a 100-year old tradition of excellence, Café La Semeuse is roasted
in small batches at an altitude of 3,300 feet in the mountains of Switzerland.

The advantage of HIGH ROASTINGTM is based on the same principle by which water boils at a lower temperature in the mountains: Reduced atmospheric pressure allows the beans to be heated longer without the risk
of charring or burning. No burn means no bitterness!

The longer exposure to heat "excites" the bean and causes the more fully realized flavors to blossom. This full-flavor but never-bitter taste has been described by La Semeuse lovers as the "nectar of coffee".

This explains it but only your first cup will prove it. That's why we proudly
offer a guarantee of your satisfaction.
