Why buy whole bean?

Ground coffee loses up to 60% of its aromatics within minutes of grinding. Whole beans keep them locked in until you brew:

  • Volatile aromatics stay protected until the moment you grind.
  • Adjust the grind for any method — finer for espresso, coarser for press.
  • Stays fresh up to 60 days after opening the bag.
  • More body, sweetness 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.
  • Grind-to-brew time: ideally under 30 seconds.
  • Storage: airtight, opaque container — never the refrigerator.

Frequently asked questions

Is whole bean really better than ground?
Yes, if you have a grinder. Ground coffee oxidizes within minutes; whole beans keep their full sensory profile until you grind, giving a fresher, more aromatic cup.

What grinder do I need?
A burr grinder, manual or electric. Blade grinders heat the beans and produce uneven particles that muddy the cup.

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

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

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.
