About

Coffee Expression This is the closest replacement for our current Brazilian coffees - a delicate blend of a natural Brazilian and Ethiopian lot, offering chocolate notes, great sweetness, and a soft, ripe fruit character.

Profiles Terra is well suited for a comfortable filter brew, a sweet and round espresso, or a variety of espresso and milk drinks. Luna is a brighter take, the direct reflection and contrast of Terra, a new step on our journey in coffee.

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.

Terra is a comforting cup, a grounding and familiar experience. Suited for espresso, espresso and milk, or batch brew. 

This is the closest replacement for our current Brazilian coffees, with chocolate notes, great sweetness and soft ripe fruit character. These coffees have been brought together for a reason, an intentional combination of lots from natural Brazil to natural Ethiopia or El Salvador, or even a single larger lot.

Agua Limpa

This natural Red Catuai showcases the Brazilian profile well, with a dark chocolate and hazelnut base punctuated by soft ripe cherry, produced by Luiz Fernando de Oliveira.

In 2005, Luiz Fernando de Oliveria sold his home in Batatais, São Paulo, and began again in Pratápolis; on eight hectares nestled in the hills of Minas Gerais, two already planted with coffee. This was the plot he called Agua Limpa. While still tiny by Brazilian standards, Luiz Fernando now has 9 hectares planted with coffee.

Terra - Brazil

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.

Girma

This 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, dark chocolate and soft stewed berries.

Girma Shonte grows coffee in the highlands of Sidama, near the village of Kumburta in the Chire district. Girma is a second generation producer, having inherited his 8.5 hectare plot from his parents. He processes all of his coffee naturally, without any of the infrastructure required to produce washed coffees.
