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.

Tarrazu, Costa Rica

Located in the southern Pacific mountains of Costa Rica, is known for its high-altitude coffee farms, many situated above 2,000 meters. Known as "Zona de Los Santos" due to its towns with "San" or "Santa" in their names, Tarrazú experiences a seven-month rainy season, followed by a dry period. Fertile volcanic soils and a mild climate create ideal conditions for agriculture, with smallholders growing coffee, bananas, and citrus. The community is deeply rooted in family values, with farmers taking pride in preserving their land and water sources.

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.

WASHED PROCESSING

This lot underwent a meticulous fully washed process, showcasing traditional fermentation techniques. The coffee cherries were fermented for 24 hours, allowing the natural sugars to develop and contribute to the coffee’s distinctive flavour profile.

After fermentation, the coffee was carefully dried in full shade on raised beds and covered patios. This slow drying process ensures even moisture loss, preserving the coffee's integrity and enhancing its complexity in the cup.
