Single-farm coffee, roasted in small lots

01 / Fruit

Coffee is a fruit.

We start the story

where the fruit was.

Every bag names the farm, the elevation it grew at, and the number of days it spent drying on raised beds. Not because it sounds good. Because it is the reason two coffees taste nothing alike.

Most subscriptions solve for consistency. You get coffee that is reliably good and completely interchangeable, and after two months you cannot remember a single thing about any of it. We solve for the opposite. Each lot should be different enough that you have an opinion about it by the second cup.

Higher ground is colder, so the fruit ripens slowly and the seed inside stays dense. Dense seed holds acidity. That is the whole mechanism, and it is why we print the metre count on the bag instead of a tasting adjective.

Everything the farm did is already in the seed. The only thing left to get wrong is the water. This is the recipe we cup on, printed on the back of every bag — start here, then move one variable at a time.

Wet the bed, wait forty seconds. Fresh coffee needs the gas out before it will take water evenly.

Two pours

125 g, let it fall, then 125 g. Pour into the centre and leave the walls alone.

Too sharp?

Grind finer before you add heat. At 1,840 m the acidity is structural, not a fault.
