What is score?

  • The SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) is the global body that sets the standards for specialty coffee. Their scoring system, based on a 100-point scale, evaluates coffees based on factors like aroma, flavour, acidity, body, aftertaste, sweetness, and balance. Coffees scoring 80+ are considered specialty grade, with those scoring 86+ representing the top tier of quality and complexity.

    Blends do not receive an official score because they combine coffees from multiple origins to achieve a balanced and consistent flavour profile. However, we only use coffees that score 85+ to ensure high quality in every blend.

    What is a blend?
  • A blend is a combination of coffees from different regions, farms, or cooperatives, carefully selected to create a harmonious and well-rounded flavour profile. Unlike single origin coffees, which highlight the distinct characteristics of one place, blends are crafted to achieve consistency, balance, and complexity across seasons.

    What are tasting notes?
  • Tasting notes describe the natural flavours found in the coffee, such as chocolate, citrus, or floral tones. These are not added flavours but arise from the bean’s variety, growing conditions, and roasting process. In blends, tasting notes are carefully curated by combining coffees that complement and enhance each other.

    What is the processing method?
  • This refers to how coffee beans are removed from the cherry after harvesting, which influences their final taste. Because blends contain coffees from multiple origins, they may feature different processing methods, such as washed, natural, or honey, contributing to their unique depth and complexity.

COFFEE OVERVIEW

PRODUCER: Various producers
VERIETAL: Castillo, Bourbon, Heirloom, Lempira
PROCESSING: Washed | Natural

Huila, Colombia

Located in southern Colombia, where the Andes mountains converge. The region is known for its cool climate, fertile soil, and focus on quality coffee production. Smallholder farmers in the Pitalito area produce specialty coffees, with selective harvesting and careful processing. The Departmental coffee committee provides training to improve farming techniques. Huila also holds historical significance, with the San Agustin archaeological site offering insight into pre-Columbian cultures.

Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia

Located in Ethiopia's Gedeo Zone, is famous for its exceptional coffee-growing conditions. The region’s high altitudes, abundant water, and heirloom varieties contribute to its renowned flavour profiles. Small-scale farmers typically grow coffee in gardens and forests. Most of the coffee is processed at centralized washing stations to enhance quality. Yirgacheffe is considered one of the birthplace regions of coffee, producing some of the world's finest beans.

WASHED | NATURAL PROCESSED

The washed process involves removing the outer skin and fruit from the coffee cherries before fermentation. After the cherries are depulped, the beans are fermented for 8 to 72 hours, depending on the conditions, to remove the remaining mucilage. The beans are then washed in fresh water and dried to the desired moisture content. This method enhances the coffee's clean, bright flavour and clarity.

The natural process involves drying the whole coffee cherry with its skin still intact. The cherries are spread out in the sun and dried for several weeks, during which time the fruit’s sugars and flavours infuse into the bean. After drying, the beans are hulled to remove the outer layers. This method tends to produce coffee with fruity, complex flavours and a fuller body.
