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.

Rutas del Inca
High in the mountains of Cajamarca, the members of the Rutas del Inca cooperative have been quietly rebuilding. After being founded in 2013 by 33 coffee producing families, they grew slowly and organically, but hit a crisis during the pandemic. There were accusations of serious corruption against the previous leadership, leaving the organisation struggling even before the supply chain chaos that ensued during 2020. Exports dwindled, and members began to leave due to late payments.
Several longstanding members came together with a plan to save the cooperative, securing funding from a Dutch NGO to assist with organic certification, EUDR compliance and an agroforestry project. For the 2025 harvest, the membership of the cooperative passed 300 families, many of which have been supported through certification, and with seedlings of new varietals. This has served to increase quality across the project, and transfer more value back to the member families.
The Querocoto Project
This part of Cajamarca is home to incredibly high altitudes; many members of Rutas del Inca farm at over 2000 masl, several up to 2400 masl. Many work in agroforestry systems with a mix of native secondary crops and shade trees. This lot is composed of the work of several of these producers, most of which grow Caturra and Catuai. This lot is bright delicate and sweet, with notes of orange, lemon and dried apricot.
