Frequently asked questions

What makes Geisha, Java and Wush Wush special?
They are rare, prized varietals famous for extraordinary florals and clarity — the genetics behind many championship-winning coffees.

Why is Gold more expensive?
Low-yield varietals, limited plots and extra care at every step: it costs more to grow, and delivers a cup very few coffees can match.

Whole bean or ground — which should I pick?
Whole bean if you own a burr grinder — the florals are fragile. Ground works beautifully too, calibrated to your method and sealed immediately.

Do you ship across the US?
Yes — we ship anywhere in the US. Shipping is calculated at checkout.

How we brew it

Our brew recommendation

Use a medium grind and low-mineral (spring-style) water so the subtle notes shine. Flash brew over ice brings the hibiscus forward.

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.
