September 2024- Kerinci Natural

September 25, 2024

At the base of Mount Kerinci, a group of producers are breaking from the tradition of wet-hulling coffee. Their modern approach to the tradition-rich coffee world of Indonesia has impressed us year after year- and this natural processed coffee is no exception.

Indonesia, once a dormant coffee origin, is beginning to realize its potential. Wet-hulling has been the norm for Indonesian coffee, and when combined with a heavily developed roast, it can have a very distinct earthy and mushroom-like profile. This method masks the true flavors of the terroir, concealing Indonesia’s potential for differentiation and future value in its coffees. The Kerinci Farmers are on the forefront of showcasing the potential and uniqueness of Indonesian coffee.

We taste Red Wine, Blackberry, and Baking Spice.

November 2024- La Guachoca Dial

November 01, 2024

Dose: 21g
Ratio: 1:16
Grind: Neutral
Bloom: 1:2 for 30s
Total Brew: 3:02
TDS: 1.38
Extraction: 19.30

This dial calls for slightly finer than neutral with a small updose to accentuate the pleasantly syrupy body. La Guachoca's prevailing attribute is sweetness, so be sure to adjust your dial until the result is reminiscent of brown sugar and maple syrup with some vanilla complexity.
