More about Me!
Medium-Light Roast, Roasted for all brewing methods!
Current Roast : 31/8/2025
This lot comes from the high-altitude Ayuyus Mountains in Peru’s Amazonas region, produced by Finca Los Santos, a family-run farm with deep roots in coffee.
The seedlings from this lot was brought from Panama, from the Esmeralda farm and belongs to the T02725 variety. The Santos family has been cultivating coffee here since 1941, with the farm now in the hands of Jose Santos Requejo, the third generation continuing the family tradition of producing high-quality coffee.
The farm’s rich, organic soils are maintained through regular weeding and pruning, creating an ideal environment for healthy coffee plants. Alongside coffee, the Santos family also grows banana, yuca, and corn, providing food for both the family and the team working on the farm.
Finca Los Santos takes a natural and sustainable approach to farming. No pesticides or herbicides are used, relying instead on organic methods to manage pests and diseases. The farm cultivates several varieties, including Catimor, Caturra, Bourbon, and is now experimenting with Pacamara, Gesha, and more Bourbon.
This particular lot features the Gesha varietal and is naturally processed. The cherries are handpicked at peak ripeness and delivered to the on-site wet mill, where they begin a 72-hour fermentation. After that, they’re carefully spread out on raised beds to dry for 40 to 45 days, with temperature and humidity closely monitored to ensure optimal conditions.
Once fully dried, the coffee is rested, hulled, and prepared for export. The result is a beautifully processed lot that reflects the care, experience, and dedication of the Santos family at every step.
Brewing Parameters
Brewing Parameters
Everyone has their own way to brew a tasty cup of coffee and that's the most fun, to be able to explore the many different variables that affect the coffee's extraction!
Here's a simple guide to follow :
Too much astringency, acidity / sharp, pointed - extract more!
Too much bitterness, dry finish - extract less!
- Use filtered water when possible, mineral water would be your next best option when brewing at home. Mineral composition of water greatly affects the extraction of solubles in coffees, hence affecting the cup's profile.
- Try using a brewing temperature of around 90-93°C as we feel it give optimal extraction of flavours from our coffees.
- Start brewing with a base ratio of 1g ground coffee to 16 - 17g brew water for filter brews (by hand) and 1g ground coffee to 2 - 2.5g brew water for espressos (by pressure) and you can adjust the ratio from there according to your taste preference!
- Coffee are best consumed within 2 month (normal usage) or 3 months (unopened) as exposure to oxygen increases the oxidation rate of the coffees.
- Is there espresso and filter options?
Our roast approach is a single profile approach, where we continually adjust and re-profile our coffees to best suit its inherent terroir and characteristics. With that in mind, our coffees are of a medium-light roast or in terms of color spectrum for you coffee nerds out there (like myself), between 90 to 100 on the Lighttells Color Index! This ensures our coffee presents balance in cup between acidity and sweetness that well developed for all brewing methods. NO ULTRALIGHT ROAST HERE 🤪
- Why does my coffee bag have no valve on it?
Our bag design seals in those precious aromatics that make our coffees tastier! Without the need for a valve as it keeps out age-inducing oxygen, allowing for vibrancy in the coffees to shine. The lack of the valve commonly found on most coffee bags means that the coffee inside the bags sits in a pressurised state. Brewing recommendations are on the back of the coffee cards, our coffee peaks 3-4weeks post roast, so fresh coffee isn’t always the best hehe.
