The new Espresso of the Month is here! Whole-bean specialty coffee from Guatemala roasted at Heresy by the 2020 Polish Roasting Vice-Champion. A roast designed for espresso, moka pot or cup brewing.  A profile featuring high articulation with sugary sweetness and fresh fruitiness. Country: Guatemala Region: Huehuetenango Farm: Las Codornices Producer: Diana & Hector Ovalle Varietal: caturra Processing: washed Altitude: 1900 m a.s.l. Harvest: February 2022 Cupping score: 86 / 100 pts PROCESSING Classic washed, just as commanded. Washing, depulping, one day fermentation in the tank and drying. THE FARM Las Codornices is a unique place - a farm located in the heart of the driest area in Huehuetenengo, where... no one grows coffee. Well, almost no one! Diana and Hector have created a unique terroir, accomplishing the almost impossible. The plantation is irrigated using a meticulously designed system, based on reservoirs and water from the river flowing in the valley. An original on a global scale! ROASTER'S COMMENT We made a typical "modern" espresso, which is a relatively light, albeit long roast that will do well in longer extractions with higher yields. Very clean with a high sweetness that I associate with marzipan, and a good deal of fruity crispness, in the form of bright forest fruit acidity. PACKAGING The 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.                                                                                                                                                                                    Coffee of the month Every month we pick two coffee specials – one for the espresso lovers, and the other for the pour-over sippers. Working directly with the roasteries, we deliver freshly roasted, unique coffee beans – always of the highest quality, at the lowest price you can get. What you get is also a thorough review, description, origin, and brewing guide. The aim of the project is to get you acquainted with speciality coffees and various flavours they offer. Check out the coffees of this month!

The new Filter of the Month is here! Whole-bean specialty coffee from Panama, roasted in Czech Republic by Doubleshot roastery. Light roast, perfect for filter coffee machines, drippers, Chemex, AeroPress, French Press, and other pour-over brewing methods. In taste you can expect hints of honey, mango and milk chocolate. Country: Panama Farm: Los Lajones - Boquete Producer: Graciano Cruz Processing: Natural Varietal: Caturra, Catuai Harvest: February 2022 Los Lajones is a well-known farm situated in the micro-region known as Cañas Verdes high on the hills of Volcán Barú, owned by Graciano Cruz. Our coffee is processed using traditional dry processing (natural). Ripe coffee cherries are dried on raised “African” beds for approx 14-20 day until they reach a humidity level of 11,5 %. The resulting cup of our lot is extremely sweet and complex without the unwanted alcohol and acetic flavours, usually connected with coffees dry processed in regions with higher humidity. Los Lajones is the first Organic Certified farm in Panama. Moreover, there is absolutely no water used during the coffee processing. Majority of the coffee pickers are members of the Ngöbe-Buglé ethnic minority. They receive approx. 25 % above the usual price for practicing selective picking.                                                                                                                                                                                    Coffee of the month Every month we pick two coffee specials – one for the espresso lovers, and the other for the pour-over sippers.
