Whole-bean specialty coffee from Colombia roasted by Manhattan Coffee Roasters from the Netherlands. Light roast, perfect for filter coffee machines, drippers, Chemex, AeroPress, French Press, and other pour-over brewing methods. The flavour of the brew resembles stone fruit, cocoa, and grapes.Country: ColombiaRegion: CundinamarcaFarm: Various smallholdersProducer: Cooperative de Operación Nacional AgropecuariaVarietal: Colombia, Castillo, TypicaProcessing: WashedAltitude: 1300 - 1800 m a.s.l.ABOUT THE COFFEEViani is a small town in the Cundinamarca department, located not far from Bogotá. “Viani” coffee is made from beans sourced from over 400 smallholder farmers across five municipalities and delivered to three collection points.The largest collection point, which accounts for around 70% of all “Viani” coffee, is located in the town of Sierra and is run by Joseel. He receives both wet and dry parchment and operates a mechanical dryer on site. When parchment is delivered, he checks the quality, weighs the bag, and agrees on a price. He then pays the farmer immediately in cash and provides a new empty bag for refilling. Joseel has been working with Racafe for over 23 years and sells exclusively to Luis Fernando, Racafe’s manager in Bogotá. Each delivery consists of approximately 10,000–13,000 kg of coffee.Due to climate change, production has dropped dramatically in recent years, making it even more important to increase revenue despite lower yields. Coffee production in Viani has decreased by 50% compared to two years ago. Rainfall has nearly doubled, with rain occurring almost every day during the season. While rain is essential for plant growth, coffee trees require 2–3 weeks of consistent sunshine without rainfall. This period of stress triggers the plant’s reproductive cycle, causing coffee trees to flower once rain returns after the dry spell.BREW RECIPEV60 Brewing RecipeRatio: 1:16.5 – 1 gram of coffee to 16.5 grams (milliliters) of waterGrind size: Between fine and medium1 cup: 250 ml water / 15 g coffee (22 clicks on Comandante)2 cups: 500 ml water / 30 g coffee (25 clicks on Comandante)Water temperature: 99–100°C / 210–212°FWater mineral content: 80–100 PPMCOFFEE OF THE MONTHEvery month we pick two coffee specials – one for the espresso lovers, and the other for the pour-over sippers.

This area is well known for its high-altitude coffee production and consistently high quality.In 2015, the Ramirez-Navarro family took a bold step forward by building their own micro-mill, “Los Campos.” This milestone allowed them to process their own coffee, ensuring full control over quality and traceability while reducing reliance on the cooperative system. Direct trade had long been a goal for the family, which is why their collaboration with Grounds represents such an important achievement.The main coffee varieties grown on the farm are Caturra and Catuai. In recent years, however, the family has been expanding their horizons by planting F-1 hybrid varieties such as Esperanza, Milenio, and Centroamericano. This marks a step toward greater diversity and long-term sustainability. Gesha has been planted at the highest point of the farm, at 2,000 meters above sea level, within a forested area that provides ideal growing conditions.At Los Campos, the team experiments with a wide range of processing methods, from classic high-quality washed coffees to innovative fermentation techniques, both aerobic and anaerobic.ROASTER’S NOTEI absolutely love coffees from the Alexis family. It’s easy to notice how often they appear in my lineup. This time, we’re serving their classic Catuai processed as White Honey. Sweet, with a lively, juicy acidity, red fruit notes, and a chocolatey finish.
