One sip will transport you to the storied coffee houses of the Viennese Enlightenment…
Imagine yourself in a bustling 19th century Viennese café. Music from Strauss’s violin fills the air. You engage Freud and Klimt with lively discussions on art and philosophy. Sunlight beams through large picture windows. You inhale deeply and let the warm, weighty aroma of coffee roasting in the background color your thoughts.
Step back in time to Vienna’s celebrated coffee houses and indulge yourself with the classical flavor of Sonnentor organically farmed, fair-trade, “Viennese Temptation” coffee.
“Outstandingly smooth…incomparably nutty…rich and satisfying with a touch of almond nougat sweetness, brightened by delightful fruity topnotes.”
Viennese Temptation is cultured coffee for everyday people with discerning palates.
Viennese Temptation is a perfect choice if you are concerned with the impact of coffee on your body’s pH levels. The secret lies in the unique roasting process.
During the process premium handpicked Arabica beans grown on small sustainable farms are gently rolled at 230°C for a period of twelve minutes.
Temperature and timing are vital to lowering acidity and producing the characteristic warm smooth flavor of this legendary roast.
If you’ve not yet tried Vienna Roast you can better understand its flavor by comparing it with French Roast.
Vienna roast is a dark full bodied roast like French Roast. However, the burnt taste and bitterness of French Roast is eliminated by roasting at slightly lower temperature.
Additionally, unlike French Roast where the regional characteristics of the beans are eclipsed by the strong roast flavor, Vienna Roast retains the subtle qualities of the growing region.
A great tasting responsible choice…
You can take comfort knowing your purchase goes to support small farm families on organic farms through direct relationships with Sonnentor founder Johannes Guttman.
Fair trade is important because it helps local farmers in remote locations escape poverty by eliminating predatory middlemen, and guaranteeing farmers fair prices.
In fact, Sonnentor recently partnered with the Austrian Development Agency (ADA) and Biosfair, a company promoting social and environmental sustainability to support small farmers in developing Nicaragua.

Good for your health too?
You may be surprised to learn that despite being blamed for a variety of ills, research shows that for most people the health benefits of coffee far outweigh the risks.
In fact, one comprehensive study tracked more than 130,000 participants for 18-24 years published in the prestigious American New England Journal of Medicine Found:
“Drinking two to three cups of coffee per day was associated with a 10% decreased risk of death for men at any age, and a 13% decreased risk of death for women at any age. “
According to Researcher Kristin Enga of the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Tromsø:
“People who drink 3-6 cups of coffee a day have 30 percent lower risk of blood clots compared to those who do not.”
Another study found that women over the age of 80 performed significantly better on tests of cognitive function if they had regularly consumed coffee over the course of their lifetimes.
Donald Hensrud, M.D. of the Mayo Clinic agrees:
“Studies have shown that coffee may protect against Parkinson’s disease, type 2 diabetes and liver disease, including liver cancer. It also appears to improve cognitive function and decrease the risk of depression.”
Most people have no idea coffee contains a rich variety of healthy nutrients including antioxidants, plant phenols, chlorogenic acid, tocopherols, Omega 6, riboflavin, potassium, and choline.
Of course coffee also contains caffeine which also shows many health benefits when used in moderation. Fortunately, because Viennese Temptation is a dark roast coffee much of the caffeine is roasted out.
