This Colombia with Natural drying process remains in the heart. First of all the aroma that releases aromas of muscat grapes and cherries, in the mouth remains a taste of black cherries in syrup and cocoa beans, with a full and enveloping body, but at the same time delicate. It is certainly a meditation coffee, to be sipped in moments of relaxation, without haste (it is also good cold).

full description

Hertson Bernal, the producer, speaks:

"My father was the one who taught us to be good people and to work in various trades to prepare for tomorrow. He had no property and so with my mother and my five brothers we lived working from farm to farm. I worked mainly in the coffee harvest. daily and it is in this period that we learned everything about working in the fields. With my brothers the relationship is very good but he is with my brother Jesus, he is the one I work with since I was a boy until today, we try to teach my children and theirs just as the processes and works of the coffee farm did with us. "

They bought the plantation in 2008, a semi-abandoned expanse, they immediately managed to plant coffee and shortly after they built a washing station and a small dryer. In the first year of harvest he participated in the Guadalupe fair with the coffee they had produced, but it didn't go well and the following year he tried again and fortunately it went better, but thanks to that placement he won a trip that opened up new ones for him. ways of seeing coffee.

From that moment on he became really passionate about coffee and began to participate in more fairs.

When Mare Terra organized a training cycle on fermentation in Colombia, it decided to participate and from there, the turning point. He meets Timur Dudkin and is fascinated by what Timur says about the process and fermentation. At first he seems to tell crazy things, but also fantastic things and therefore for Hertson it was a unique and motivating experience, moreover in the tasting course he tried coffees from all over the world and learned how important it is for producers to taste their coffee and being able to compare it with others.

 

 

How to choose:

ROASTING

Open tab

We roast in two different ways, dividing into two main groups, based on the type of extraction:

  • Light: suitable for Filter/Aeropress-type extractions, or for those looking for a coffee with a note of marked acidity and many aromas.
  • Medium: suitable for Espresso/Moka extractions, or for those who want a coffee with a much more intense flavor and a touch of bitterness.

There are dozens of different grinds, it can be said that each machine or equipment needs a grind ad hoc.

  • Espresso:
  • Moka:
  • V60 Filter:

QUANTO DURA?

Open tab

Il caffè ha una durata limitata quando parliamo di qualità. Anche se in etichetta si può scrivere fino a 24 mesi, in genere il caffè di alta qualità, in pochi mesi ha perso la maggiorparte del sapore e dell'aroma. Consigliamo di berlo tra i 7 giorni e i 60 giorni dopo la data di tostatura (a patto che il sacchetto non sia mai stato aperto). Quando il sacchetto viene aperto, la qualità del caffè deteriora rapidamente sempre e in pochi giorni si perdono aromi e sapore. Purtroppo non sempre viene scritta la data di tostatura, sopratutto dalle aziende più grandi. Sui nostri pacchetti la trovi chiaramente scritta sul retro.

P.S. i nostri sachetti sono tutti confezionati con sotto vuoto e aggunta di Azoto, che prolunga la durata potenziale del prodotto.

How to:

ESPRESSO

Open tab

Espresso requires some precision rules:

  • Quality coffee
  • Roasting within 30 days
  • Fine Grind
  • Water temperature around 90-92°
  • A single serving of 8-9g (double of 15-17g)
  • Extraction time approximately 25 seconds

The use of quality espresso machines (range from €600 upwards) can ensure a better result.
Machines that also have a coffee grinder to grind "fresh" coffee are preferable

MOKA

Open tab

The Moka requires a little attention:

  • Use filtered or bottled water (NO TAP)
  • Roasting within 30 days
  • Medium-fine grinding
  • Fill the boiler with water without going over the valve
  • Put the ground coffee into the filter without pressing or making ontagnettes, simply level it at the edge
  • Put on medium heat
  • Wait for the liquid to rise through the chimney pot, without letting it bubble (TURN OFF AS SOON AS THE FLOW OF COFFEE STARTS TO GO FAST AND COLORLESS)
  • Mix before serve

The Moka must only be washed with water and any neutral detergents (taking care to rinse thoroughly with water), never in the dishwasher or with abrasive sponges.
