Whole-bean specialty coffee from Ethiopia and Costa Rica, roasted by Heresy roasting brand. Medium roast, perfect for espresso machines and moka pots. You can expect hints of stone fruits, flowers, citrus fruits and chocolate.Origin: Ethiopia / Costa RicaRegion: Sidama / ChirripoFarm: Nguisse Kayimo / Urena Rojas FamilyProcessing: Natural / Anaerobic NaturalAltitude: 2050 / 1800 m a.s.l.Cupping score: 87 / 100 ABOUT THE FARM AND THE PRODUCERNguisse is one of those producers for whom coffee cultivation is much more than just a random agricultural activity. For many Ethiopians, coffee is a symbol, a source of national pride, and a way of life – a group that certainly includes this finalist of last year's Cup of Excellence! His small farm, approximately 8 hectares in size, is located in the Bensa region, which in our opinion holds the highest quality potential. The crops here reach well above 2000 meters above sea level and usually consist of selected, single botanical varieties.A family business run by the Ureña family, where everything runs like clockwork. We have been visiting them for many years, and it is a beautiful thing. Vista al Chirripo is the highest-altitude plantation on the farm, where right next to the trees of this Caturra stands a small wooden house with windows overlooking the highest peak in the country. It is impossible to describe in words, but if you want to impress someone more than ever before, you take them right there and wait together for the sunrise over a cup of coffee. Just don't kill the mood by asking about the click count, please.ABOUT THE COFFEE PROCESSING ON THE FARMEthiopia: Processed as natural – drying the coffee seeds within the whole fruit. Freshly harvested cherries undergo an initial selection where those with defects are discarded. Then, they are spread out on so-called African beds – long tables, sometimes stretching for dozens (!) of meters, with a mesh lining that allows for even air circulation throughout the process, resulting in homogeneous drying. The whole process takes between 25 and 30 days, depending on the weather.Costa Rica: First, the cherries undergo a short pre-drying process, and then they are sealed for 2 or 3 days in airtight tanks for fermentation with limited oxygen. Then, drying on long African tables under something that looks like the plastic tunnels used by grandparents in allotment gardens, you know, the ones where tomatoes and cucumbers grow. Only about seven times longer.ROASTER'S OPINIONThis is our idea for this espresso: we created a roast profile that showcases the beautiful floral and fruity notes typical of high-quality Ethiopian coffees, while simultaneously offering a good deal of chocolatey-dessert depth to balance the acidity and give the cup equilibrium. As a result, whether you brew it in an espresso machine, a moka pot, or even as a filter coffee, you will get a full, round, and complex coffee with a long-lasting, syrupy aftertaste!Store in a cold and dry space.

A blend of specialty quality coffees, roasted at Heresy roastery by the 2020 Roasting Vice-Champion. Dark roasted, designed to be brewed in an espresso machine, café, frenchpress or pour-over methods of brewing or brewing in a cup. Profile with low acidity and higher bitterness.This is the most budget-friendly coffee in Heresy's portfolio and perhaps the most heretical! Pastor is a blend of coffees from the previous season, which proves that there is nothing wrong with transparently communicating the harvest date! We roast this coffee darker, though in a way that makes it suitable for a variety of brewing methods. It will work especially well in an espresso machine or a mokka pot, and for fans of lower acidity, higher bitterness and sweet chocolate and caramel notes, also in filter methods. That's why we call it an all-purpose blend. Pastor doesn't offer coffees eternal life, but gives a second one to those that deserve it!WHAT A HERESYAlmost every roaster has some coffee left over from the previous crop when new, fresher coffee from the last harvest comes in. These beans are often still good, especially if their quality was high from the beginning, although it usually happens that they lose some intensity and sometimes there are notes associated with some woody impression which appear. There are different ideas about how to use them. Quite a few roasters sell them at regular price, without disclosing the harvest date, some add them to cheaper blends, others try to hide the flavor with darker roasting or aromatization. To put the emphasis on fresh, up-to-date crops in our offerings, we always include their dates in the description of our lots. We dream of making this an industry standard! So that the consumer can more consciously judge quality and freshness against price. Meanwhile, there is nothing wrong with "past crops" themselves, if we say so directly and price them accordingly lower. It may be one of the few such approaches in the market, but it's time to bring a little more transparency to the subject of past crop coffees!COFFEEVariety: blendProcessing: blendProducer: blendFarm: blendOrigin: blendElevation: variousHarvest: harvest from the previous season!Cupping score: coffees scoring a minimum of 86 / 100 points when cupping on fresh beansROASTER'S REVIEWIf you are a coffee geek looking for flowers and fruits in your coffee - this is not the product for you. If you are instead looking for a gift for your mother, grandmother or someone who has not yet explored the world of specialty coffee and prefers darker classic coffees - we have it! It's a good coffee, and by using beans from previous harvests, it also has a much lower price, because we sell it 'at cost value'! It's also our way of 'less waste', because some great beans were standing in our warehouse, with no idea what to do with them. And that's how PASTor came into being.PACKAGINGThe coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle). We also thought about glass, but it's heavier, more expensive, breakable and, wait for it, has the same or greater (sic!) environmental impact! A plastic jar turns out to be pretty eco-friendly, just remember to put it in the right container, or find a creative way to reuse it at home.Store in a cold and dry space.

Some 75% of all coffee produced in the world comes from Brazil, the vast majority being commercial grand blends from around the region. In the world of speciality coffee, we have to deal with those as well. That's why we created the Antidote, a coffee that is an antidote to the flood of santos, cerrados, and other coffees, that are far from transparent and demonstrating the producer's role in the whole process. This is for fans of the classics who do not let go of quality. For those who value true fair trade.

Whole-bean specialty coffee from Colombia and Honduras, roasted by Heresy roasting brand. Dark roast, perfect for espresso machines and moka pots.

Willian Hoyos, Julián Sandoval, Rubén Castillo, and Yovany Muñoz cultivate coffee on several-hectare farms in the El Tambo micro-region, located west of Popayan, the capital of the Cauca department.The following synergy of factors makes the quality of their raw material so phenomenal:the microclimate in El Tambo and the cultivation altitude reaching above 2,000 meters result in slower cherry ripening, while lower humidity facilitates the drying process: the processed coffee loses water in a predictable and controlled manner,a thoughtful and precisely planned system of pruning and thinning older, less productive parts of the coffee trees to ensure optimal air throughput and sunlight,the producers' modern knowledge of fertilization combined with a traditional practice known locally as “re-re,” which involves the selective harvesting of overripe, undeveloped, or dried fruits and leaving them on the ground by the trees: thanks to this, more pests feed on the “waste” instead of attacking healthy batches,and, of course, conscious, restrictive cherry picking at the optimal ripeness stage combined with years of experience in the fermentation and drying process.Only the local population works during the harvest, forming the core of the community of several small El Tambo villages, which has naturally evolved around the continuous, seasonal cycle of coffee cultivation for generations.Javier FernandezJavier is the son of Don Andres, a producer whose coffees we have already hosted in our brown jars. His farm is just around the corner, and the terrace of the washing station offers such an extraordinary view of the valley and Lake Yojoa that if Bill Gates had visited this place, this very landscape would be world-famous as a Windows desktop wallpaper.
