Frequently asked questions

What is a natural process coffee?
A coffee dried inside the whole cherry, skin and all. The extended contact with the fruit intensifies sweetness, body and berry-like flavors.

Why does this coffee taste like berries?
No flavoring is added — the wild strawberry and red berry notes develop naturally during cherry drying at high altitude.

Whole bean or ground — which should I pick?
Whole bean for peak freshness if you own a burr grinder; ground for a professional, method-calibrated grind with zero effort.

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

Filter methods bring out the red berry and wild strawberry notes, and it makes a full-bodied cold brew. On a V60, aim for a 2:30–3:00 minute brew.

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.
