N.f - Recommended recipe

Filter:

  • 15g coffee / 220g water
  • Water 92°C
  • Grind: coarse
  • Number of pours: 3
  • Flow time: < 2min

Tip:wait 3 to 4 weeks for degassing after roasting before consuming this coffee as a filter. The aromatic peak is estimated to be 1 month after roasting.

N.m - Terroir

Colombian coffee is first and foremost a mountain coffee. It grows on the slopes of the Andes mountain range, in an equatorial climate tempered by altitude. The alternation between sun, regular rainfall, and cool nights slows down the maturation of the cherries, which allows for a high aromatic concentration. The soils are often volcanic or alluvial, rich in minerals, and most farms are small, which strengthens the link between coffee, soil, and microclimate.

The CaucaValley is located in southwestern Colombia, in the Andes mountain range, at an altitude between 1,400 and 2,000m, ideal for growing high-quality Arabica. The department benefits from a tropical mountain climate: mild temperatures (18–24°C on average), with cool nights that slow down the maturation of the cherries, favoring a concentration of sugars and aromas.

The farm Granja Paraisois located between 1,800 and 2,000mabove sea level, in Piendamo in the department of Cauca, and covers 120 hectares. The farm and its various entities (Granja Paraiso, La Macarena, Las Brisas & La Esperanza) benefit from the best possible conditions for growing exceptional coffee.

N.m - Processing method

When we talk about coffee processing methods, we're referring to post-production: after the coffee cherries have been picked. This coffee undergoes a multitude of post-harvest processes, as follows:

The process begins with rigorous sterilization(ozonated water & UV) followed by immersion in 90°C water(thermal shock). The cherries are then depulped, which categorizes the coffee as washed.

This is followed by controlled anaerobic fermentation(96 hours in a bioreactor with the addition of Saccharomyces pastorianuslager beer yeast), where pH and Brix degrees are adjusted in real-time before drying at 38°C.

This precise method, combining hygiene and science, guarantees coffees with unique and reproduciblearomatic profiles.
