About

Coffee Expression This is a new endeavour, a little further from home. In this blend of two lots from Ethiopia and Kenya, we have more fresh fruit, more acidity, but still a deep sweetness and integrated structure.

Profiles Luna is a brighter take, the direct reflection and contrast of Terra, a new step on our journey in coffee, suited for espresso, smaller espresso and milk drinks, or batch brew.

Profiles 

Though the world of coffee moves at a fast pace, we create constant taste profiles that we can return to throughout the year. Profiles is a place to come home to, the base on which we can build the rest of our coffee journey. 

The two taste profiles Terra and Luna, are created with intention; to enable complex and characterful espresso-based drinks, and comfortable filter coffees.

Sometimes blended, often a single lot, these two profiles allow us to maintain the highest quality by loosening our previous focus on Brazilian lots. Read more here

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. Learn more about different brewing techniques and specific brew guides here.

Luna is a brighter take, a reflection on our philosophy, and a step on our journey in coffee, and is suited for espresso, smaller espresso and milk drinks, or batch brew.

This is a new endeavour, a little further from home. Here we have more fresh fruit, more acidity, but still a deep sweetness and integrated structure. Luna is combined to promote the character of washed Ethiopia, Guatemala, Costa Rica, or often a single larger lot.

Tunsisa

Daniel Tunsisa grows coffee in fertile land on the edge of the Harenna forest national park, at over 2200 masl in the Sidama region. Daniel’s natural lot was an excellent find during this year’s rounds of cupping with CoQua in Addis Ababa, with a rich and ripe character of brown sugar, apricot, and dark chocolate.

He inherited his 6 hectare plot from his father, a huge amount of land in a landscape dominated by smallholder farmers. Daniel runs his business more like small producers we work with in the Americas, planting locally distributed 74110 and 74112 varietals, and employing a workforce of around 45 people during peak harvest.

Luna - Ethiopia

Brazil has faced increasing instability in recent years, driven by climate extremes and vulnerabilities in intensive agricultural systems, making it harder to secure consistent quality at acceptable prices.

As a result, we reassessed our approach to espresso sourcing, as fewer Brazilian lots met our standards for balanced, characterful milk drinks. 

With Profiles, our goal is to deliver this experience year-round, widening our sourcing across the coffee belt - often blending carefully selected lots - to maintain both quality and a consistent profile.

Kiamugumo

Crisp red berries are balanced by a deep sweetness in this fresh and tea-like lot from northeastern Kirinyaga. 

The small region in Kirinyaga that the Kiamugumo station serves, surrounding the village of Ngariama, is mainly a tea-growing area. The region is known for very high quality of both tea and coffee; we have visited several times, most recently in February of this year. It is clear to witness the density of both coffee and tea plantation in the lush green landscape, enabled by the rich volcanic soils.

Luna - Kenya
