Brewing Advice

Water is one of the most critical components of an excellent coffee experience. We recommend using mineral water of a soft Total Dissolved Solids count, ideally below 150 ppm. 

Rested coffee During the resting process, harsh and astringent flavors, which can even be perceived as a ‘roast’ character, soften out, allowing a clearer and brighter expression of the coffee’s character to shine.  

We recommend resting our coffees for at least 10 days after the roast date, and we often find excellent results, especially for particularly dense coffees, beyond 6 weeks.

Brewing Our straightforward approach to coffee carries over into brewing. We recommend our roasted coffee for all brew methods, regardless of whether it is immersion, percolation or espresso. We believe that there is one correct way to roast a single coffee, roasting lightly, in such a way as to release its innate qualities and showcase its quality.

La Choza

La Choza is a 4 hectare plot on a steep mountainside outside of Buesaco, where Janeth del Carmen Narváez grows coffee in Colombia’s mountainous Nariño region. We have come to appreciate coffees from Nariño over many years, for their dense sweetness and intense, concentrated flavours in the cup, with a high degree of clarity. Incredibly high altitudes, often over 2000 masl, and excellent sun exposure mean sugar-rich, slow-matured coffee cherries, with ample fuel for fermentation and roasting to create complexity and intensity.

Janeth del Carmen Narváez

Janeth’s family has lived here for generations, but it was Janeth who saw potential in growing quality coffee on these lands. Just outside the village of Medina Espejo, Janeth has worked through varietal selection, farm management, and post-harvest processing in order to produce top quality micro lots. With support from Inconexus, she has been producing some excellent coffee.

A careful process

This lot is of the Pink Bourbon varietal, processed using a traditional washed method. The Pink Bourbon varietal has been made famous further north in Huila; this is the fist time we have been able to purchase this varietal grown in the rugged high altitude terrain of Nariño. Janeth received Pink Bourbon seeds from an Inconexus project a few years ago; this is the first exportable harvest from her small plot.

In the cup, we find the combined character of Pink Bourbon and of Nariño; bright, floral and tropical, followed by a pin sharp, dense and juicy balance.
