The farm covers 6 hectares, 5 of which are dedicated to coffee cultivation, and the trees in this lot are around four years old.The farm is managed by Vladimir and his family, and the entire process, from harvesting to drying, takes place on-site and under their direct supervision. The harvest season runs from April to December and is based on selective hand-picking to maintain consistent quality and uniformity of the cherries.ABOUT THE COFFEEGesha is a variety strongly associated with exceptional quality and a very high sensory potential when grown at high altitudes. It is also a low-yield variety, which means that even with high demand, it remains genuinely limited on the market. For years it has consistently won the most prestigious coffee competitions and achieved record-breaking results at international auctions.This lot is processed using a washed method with extended, controlled fermentation. The harvest is done manually and selectively, in cycles roughly every 20 days, using only fully ripe cherries.After harvesting, the cherries ferment in bags for about 12 hours. They are then transferred to a hopper, where the initial oxidation stage is completed. The coffee then undergoes flotation, followed by depulping and an extended fermentation of approximately 200 hours in tanks or vats.After fermentation, the coffee is washed using either a portable washing unit or an Ecomill system. It is then dried on raised beds for 15–17 days and stabilized in GrainPro bags for 10–15 days. The final step is careful sorting to remove defects and ensure the highest physical quality of the beans.ROYAL BEANSWhat’s behind the name Royal Beans?

Thanks to this approach, a “regional blend” is not random mixing, but coffee unified under one processing protocol, in one place and under one supervision.Forest Coffee develops this project under the “Innovation” concept and openly communicates its goal: consistency, transparency, and real added value for producers.ABOUT THE COFFEECastillo, Caturra, Colombia. In practice: a solid foundation that carries sweetness and allows vanilla to shine without the flavor losing balance. This combination of varieties maintains structure in the cup — which means the processing can be intensive while the coffee still tastes like coffee, not perfume.First comes a 24-hour pre-fermentation of whole cherries. Then depulping and washing. Next, 96 hours of anaerobic fermentation in sealed tanks with the addition of natural vanilla aroma.Finally, mechanical drying (3–4 days) and 30 days of stabilization in GrainPro to allow the flavor to settle and remain consistent across future batches.RECIPERatio: 60 g of coffee per 1 liter of waterWater temperature: 93°CGrind size: medium-coarseMethod:Pour the water in five equal stages (e.g., 5 × 60 g), every 30 seconds.Allow the water to fully drain through the coffee between pours.If the flow is too slow or too fast, adjust the grind size accordingly.Use soft, filtered water.Store in a cold and dry space.

Hard Beans - Colombia Carambolo Estate Washed Filter 250 g
Manufacturer: HARD BEANS
Roasting date: 21.04.2026
Whole-bean specialty coffee from Colombia, roasted by Hard Beans from Poland. Light roast, perfect for filter coffee machines, drippers, Chemex, AeroPress, French Press, and other pour-over brewing methods. In the cup, you can expect the notes of peach, red currant and vanilla.Origin: ColombiaRegion: HuilaVariety: Tabi, Yellow ColombiaFarm: Finca El Diviso / Finca Las FloresProcessing: WashedAltitude: 1700 – 1900 m a. s. l.ABOUT THE COFFEEThis is a blend of green beans from two farms in Pitalito, Huila: Finca El Diviso run by Nestor Lasso and Finca Las Flores run by Johan Vergara. These are names that genuinely matter on the competition scene. Coffees from El Diviso have won the World Barista Championship, and lots from Johan Vergara regularly appear in the routines of world-class competitors. In practice, this means one thing: the raw material is predictable, clean, and produced to meet the highest standards.This is a deliberate combination of two varieties. Tabi brings structure and elegance, often expressed as a more tea-like clarity and a stable, citrus-fruit acidity, while Yellow Colombia adds sweetness and juicy, ripe fruit character.Formally, this is a washed coffee, but processed in a way that strongly shapes the flavor profile. First, the fermentation is two-stage: an initial aerobic phase, followed by anaerobic submersion, designed to emphasize stone fruit notes (peach, apricot) rather than heavy, wine-like flavors. Second, after fermentation the coffee undergoes controlled hot/cold quenching, meaning contact with hot and cold water to stop the process at the right moment and preserve aromatic clarity. This is followed by natural drying under cover for greater stability and reduced risk of overheating, finished with mechanical drying in a silo, and at least 10 days of resting before final preparation.RECIPERatio: 60 g coffee per 1 liter of waterWater temperature: 93°CGrind size: Medium-coarseBrew time: 3:30 minutesMethod: Pour the water in five equal pours (for example, 5 × 60 g) at 30-second intervals.Allow the water to fully drain through the coffee between pours.If the water flows too slowly or too quickly, adjust the grind size coarser or finer.Remember to use soft, filtered water.Store in a cold and dry space.

It is currently run by the second generation of producers, Elias and Shady Bayter, with the support of their mother, Martha. Unlike many small farms in Colombia, which typically cover around 5 hectares, this estate spans over 300 hectares of land, nearly 100 hectares of which are dedicated to coffee cultivation.The Bayter family is currently conducting advanced research on bacteria and yeasts to control fermentation, constantly experimenting with processing methods and achieving an unprecedented level of excellence in their coffees. El Vergel grows more than 28 different coffee varieties and is the first farm in Colombia to develop the Koji fermentation process, a technique that has completely revolutionized green coffee production.Pink Bourbon is a unique coffee variety, known for its unusual pink-colored cherries. Its captivating and complex flavor profile is characterized by floral notes, fruitiness, juicy acidity, and honey-like sweetness.This exceptional coffee was produced using a method developed at El Vergel Estate, employing Aspergillus oryzae, a fungus renowned for its ability to enhance flavor profiles. The innovative process involves cultivating the fungus on steamed rice for 3–4 days. Once fully developed, the rice is harvested, dried, and ground into a fine powder. This powder is then evenly spread over coffee cherries placed on raised beds. Ensuring oxygen exposure is crucial, as it enables the fungus to grow and transform the fruit.During a 24–72 hour aerobic fermentation, the koji culture develops, covering most of the cherries and intensifying their flavor complexity. After fermentation, the cherries are dried in two stages: first for 10 days under the sun, followed by 2–4 days of mechanical drying at a controlled temperature not exceeding 38°C to preserve the coffee’s delicate characteristics. Finally, the beans undergo a 20-day stabilization period in GrainPro bags, ensuring stability and optimal storage conditions.ROYAL BEANSWhat’s behind the name Royal Beans?

Around a decade ago, with the aim of participating in the prestigious Cup of Excellence competition, the farm began experimenting with varieties other than those traditionally grown in the region. For the past seven years, the farm has actively participated in this competition, achieving significant success, including second place in 2021. Don Linarco has been involved in coffee cultivation since his youth, working on the family farm. In 2014, after inheriting the land, he started his independent journey as a coffee producer. With great passion, he developed his skills across the entire production process, from sensory assessment (cupping) to coffee processing methods. Today, Don Linarco produces coffee using various techniques while also managing other farms.ABOUT THE VARIETYBourbon Sidra is an exceptional coffee variety, being a hybrid of two esteemed lineages: Bourbon and Typica (or according to some sources, Gesha). It is most commonly cultivated in Ecuador and Colombia. It is characterized by a complex flavor profile, where one can often find notes of tropical fruits, citrus, and florals, complemented by a delicate sweetness. The whole profile is completed by a bright, vibrant acidity and a clean finish. Due to its uniqueness and rarity on the market, this variety is frequently used in barista competitions.THE PROCESS The coffee cherries are hand-picked and carefully selected. They are then subjected to a washing process, during which floating cherries are removed from the surface of the water. The next stage is a 90-hour fermentation in hermetically sealed barrels. After fermentation, the cherries are dried under cover for about 28 days, and the final stabilization lasts for 15 days.A coffee for explorers. Lightly roasted, with dark fruits in the aroma.

Hard Beans - Kenya Karimikui AB Top Filter 250 g
Manufacturer: HARD BEANS
Whole-bean specialty coffee from Kenya, roasted by Hard Beans roasting brand. Light roast, perfect for filter coffee machines, drippers, Chemex, AeroPress, French Press, and other pour-over brewing methods. The brew resembles the flavour of grapefruit, blackberry, rhubarb and black tea.Origin: KenyaRegion: KirinyagaFarm: KarimikuiVariety: SL28, SL34, BatianProcessing: WashedAltitude: 1600 – 1700 m a.s.l.ABOUT THE REGION AND FARMKarimikui is a processing station operating since 1966. It is located in Kirinyaga County, on the southern slopes of Mount Kenya. It collects coffee from over 2,200 smallholder producers from around the villages of Gituba and Kithure. Most farms have a small area, usually around 0.1–0.2 ha.Coffee grows at an altitude of approximately 1600–1700 m a.s.l., in volcanic soils. The conditions of the region favor slower fruit ripening, which is important for the development of sweetness, acidity, and the structure of the brew.On local farms, coffee is often grown alongside other crops, such as tea, avocado, macadamia, or mango. This is an important element of the farmers' daily operations, as it increases the economic stability of the farms.ABOUT THE VARIETYThis coffee features SL28, SL34, and Batian. SL28 and SL34 are responsible for the classic Kenyan profile: high acidity, fruitiness, and a long, clean finish. Batian is a newer variety, introduced among other reasons for its greater disease resistance and better production stability.The combination of these varieties yields a coffee with a distinct regional character, with a good balance between intensity and clarity of the profile.ABOUT THE PROCESSINGCoffee cherries are selectively picked and delivered to the station after harvest. After removing the skin and part of the pulp, the beans undergo fermentation, are then washed with fresh water, and dried on raised beds. During drying, the coffee is regularly turned so that the process proceeds as evenly as possible.At Karimikui, a mechanical pulper is also used, which helps reduce water consumption. This is technologically and environmentally significant.The result in the cup is a clean profile, high sweetness, citrus-berry acidity, and a structure typical of well-prepared coffees from Kirinyaga.RECIPERatio: 60 g of coffee per 1 liter of waterWater temperature: 93°CGrind size: mediumBrew time: 3:30 minutes Method: Pour water over the coffee in 5 equal pours (e.g., 5x 60 g) at 30-second intervals. The water between pours should draw down completely through the coffee. If the water flows too slowly or too fast, adjust the grind size to coarser/finer. Remember to use soft, filtered water! Store in a cool, dry place.
