The Alchemy Behind Gold Specialty Coffee
To create Gold specialty coffee, we meticulously select beans that stand out for their superior genetic profile. Geisha contributes its floral delicacy, Java its elegant body, and Wush Wush a deep sweetness and unique fruity notes.
The result is a Gold specialty coffee that offers a clean, sweet, and extremely aromatic cup, representing the pinnacle of modern Colombian coffee cultivation.
Sensory Profile: An Experience for the Senses
When you taste Gold coffee, you will find:
- Intense Floral Notes: An intoxicating aroma reminiscent of hibiscus flower and rose petals.
- Refined Sweetness: Notes that evoke orange blossom honey and a silky smoothness on the palate.
- Bright Acidity: A very sophisticated malic and citrus acidity that brings freshness and structure to the drink.
Preparation Methods for Exotic Coffees
A coffee of this magnitude deserves a preparation that respects its complexity. We recommend:
- V60: This is the method par excellence for Gold specialty coffee. It highlights the clarity of the floral notes and the bright acidity of the Geisha.
- Japanese Siphon: Ideal for accentuating the elegant body and turning the preparation into a visual spectacle worthy of the bean.
- Cold Brew (Flash Brew): Preparing it over ice highlights the hibiscus flower notes, creating a refreshing and complex drink.
Taster's Note: Due to the delicacy of its varietals, we recommend using a medium grind and low-mineral water (spring water type) so as not to overshadow the subtle nuances of Gold specialty coffee.

How we brew it
Brewed clean & sweet
These lots are built for clarity. We love them through an AeroPress or Chemex, where the paper filter lets the sweetness ring out. Use 1 gram of coffee to every 15 grams of water, off-boil at 92°C, and don't rush the bloom.
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.
