Why This Coffee Tastes This Way

The coffee is naturally processed and dried as whole cherries on raised beds.

V60: A clean filter format helps separate red-apple acidity, panela sweetness and citrus detail.
-
Kalita / Chemex: Useful when you want a structured filter cup with a little more clarity.
-
Cold Brew: The fruit and panela direction can translate into a sweet, refreshing cold preparation.
-
Espresso: Can suit a brighter straight espresso when dialled carefully.
1718 Brewing Tip: If you plan to switch between filter, cold brew and espresso, choose whole beans so each method can use its own grind setting.
