More information

Overview

Why buy whole bean?

A maceration coffee carries delicate fermentation aromatics that ground coffee surrenders in minutes. Whole bean keeps them for you:

  • Winey, fruity aromatics sealed until the moment you grind.
  • Freedom to brew it as espresso, pour over or press.
  • Fresh up to 60 days after opening the bag.
  • Maximum depth and complexity in every cup.

Grind guide by method
  • Espresso / moka pot: fine (table-salt consistency).
  • V60 / Chemex / AeroPress / drip: medium (coarse salt).
  • French press / cold brew: coarse (sea salt).

Brewing recommendations
  • Ratio: 1:16.5 — about 60 g of coffee per liter of water.
  • Water temperature: 195–205 °F.
  • Best methods: pour over for clarity; French press for maximum body.
  • Storage: airtight, opaque container — never the refrigerator.

Where it grows

One family. One hillside.

Every lot is picked at Hacienda Las Mercedes, our family farm in the Farallones del Citará. The cherries are hand-selected at peak ripeness, then dried slowly on raised beds — the patience is what builds that sweetness in the cup.
