Roast Style: Classic

These will be fuller bodied coffees that exhibit more obvious roast-centric flavours, like caramelised sugar.

While bitterness has its place in every coffee, there is enough of that in each raw coffee without us ever feeling it is necessary to add more of that through the roast process. For this reason, even our darkest roasts are still very moderate medium roasts, relative to the full spectrum of coffee roasts available in the market today.

Our classic coffees will make great espresso-based beverages, and they're a good option for french press and moka-pot brewing, especially if you like your coffee with milk.

Roaster's Notes

This collective coffee lot was cultivated at a notably high altitude, exceeding 2,000m ALS, resulting in high-density, hard beans. With this in mind, we gradually ramp-up the temperature of the beans by managing the environmental conditions of the roasts, ensuring proper heat penetration. What follows this soak time is a short post-crack phase, which enhances its aroma and sweetness, without overshadowing this lot’s distinctive preserved fruit character.

There is an emphasis on collaboration among members to enhance cultivation techniques and quality. This collective approach not only improves coffee production, but also fosters community development and skill sharing among the farmers. The "Cafe Selva Norte" project underpins their sustainability efforts, contributing to agroforestry and supporting environmental initiatives.
