More information

Overview

We dry the entire cherry — skin and mucilage included — under the Andean sun. The fruit sugars concentrate inside the bean, creating a vibrant cup of chocolate, red berries and wild strawberry, with bright acidity and a silky, medium-high body.

Why buy whole bean?

Grinding at home is the single biggest freshness upgrade you can make:

  • Volatile berry aromatics stay locked in the bean until you grind.
  • Dial in the exact grind for espresso, pour over or press.
  • Beans stay fresh up to 60 days after opening.
  • A deeper, sweeter, more complex cup every time.

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.
  • Grind-to-brew time: ideally under 30 seconds.
  • Storage: airtight, opaque container — never the refrigerator.

Frequently asked questions

What is a natural process coffee?
A coffee dried inside the whole cherry. The long contact with the fruit intensifies sweetness, body and berry flavors — the boldest expression of our farm.

What grinder do I need?
A burr grinder, manual or electric. It keeps the particle size uniform so the fruit notes extract cleanly.

How long do whole beans stay fresh?
Up to 60 days after opening in an airtight, opaque container, away from light and heat.

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.
