The Coffee
Whether it’s taking a moment for yourself or sharing it with friends, coffee is always good company.
With that in mind, RTS Sport (Radio Télévision Suisse) and Horizonte Coffee collaborated to create an exclusive coffee that is a crowd pleaser for any time of the day. The man behind Horizonte Coffee is Christoph Sauser: 4 times mountain bike world champion and Olympic bronze medalist. With such a high performance pedigree, RTS Sport could not have partnered with a better coffee roaster.
MEDIAL is roasted in the mountain town of Leysin and is a combination of Brazilian (80%) and Ethiopian (20%) coffees. An extremely creamy coffee with notes of milk chocolate and nuts. The Ethiopian beans give the coffee the desired floral notes.
For your everyday drinking experience.

#2 - Haile Gebrselassie
I'm sure most of you know Haile Gebrselassie, probably the best long-distance runner of all time. He has won two Olympic gold medals, been world champion seven times and broken 27 world records! Richard Nerurkar, an old track and field friend of his who now works for Haile, contacted us because of our background in sports. A great match! Not only from a sporting point of view, but also because of Haile's amazing beans and the way people and nature are treated. Haile's organic coffee farm is located in the UNESCO biosphere reserve Sheka, where also honey is harvested. 75 permanent employees work on the farm.
To support the local community, Haile has built an 18km all-weather road connecting the farm to Masha and constructed a school in Yeppo village near the farm.
Organic fertilizer is made from the pulp of washed coffee. Meanwhile, 250 hectares of the farm have been put under conservation to protect the forest.
