This coffee comes from Piendamó, in the department of Cauca, an area with a great coffee tradition where altitude, climate, and environmental conditions allow for the development of exceptionally expressive and complex coffees.
Grown at 1,950 meters above sea level at Finca El Silencio, this lot of Gesha variety stands out for its elegant and very aromatic profile. The natural process enhances its sweetness and fruity expression, while maintaining the floral character we seek in this variety.

Siempre había comprado café del supermercado y quería probar eso del café de especialidad. La diferencia se nota muchísimo. Lo que más me ha gustado del pack es poder probar varios cafés y descubrir cuál encaja más conmigo.
No tengo una cafetera profesional ni entiendo demasiado de café. Lo preparo en mi cafetera italiana de toda la vida y está espectacular. Cada bolsa tiene un sabor diferente y se nota muchísimo comparado con el café que tomaba antes.
Llevo tiempo tomando café de especialidad y me ha sorprendido bastante el pack. Hay perfiles diferentes y eso hace que sea divertido ir cambiando de café. El Brasil Santa Cecilia me ha encantado especialmente.
Pensaba que lo del café de especialidad era un poco marketing, pero después de probar estos cafés entiendo perfectamente por qué la gente habla tanto de ello. Tiene mucho más aroma y encuentras sabores que nunca había notado en un café.
Lo mejor es poder comparar unos con otros. Preparándolos en V60 se aprecian muchísimo las diferencias entre cada origen y perfil. Una selección muy buena tanto para descubrir cafés nuevos como para regalar.
Lo compré porque quería dejar las cápsulas y probar algo mejor. No tenía ni idea de qué café elegir, así que este pack me pareció la forma más fácil de empezar. Después de probarlos tengo claro que no vuelvo al café de antes.
Una forma sencilla de empezar a descubrir todo lo que puede ofrecer un buen café.
Every day from Monday to Friday we prepare orders for our transport agency to pick them up at 2pm. If we have all the coffees you have ordered and they are roasted, we will send them that same day. Otherwise we will do everything possible to get it out the next day. Our transport agency assures us of deliveries in 24-48 hours.
Example 1:
If you place the order on Sunday afternoon. Normally, if we have roasted all the coffees that you have ordered from us, on Monday morning we will prepare all the orders for the weekend and that Monday at 2:00 p.m. your order will already be on its way, in the hands of our agency. On many occasions it will be delivered the next day, Tuesday before 7pm, but on other occasions you will have to wait until Wednesday to receive your order. For your peace of mind, you will normally receive an email with which you can track it.
Example 2) worst case
If you place an order on Friday at noon, the normal thing is that we will not have time to prepare it and that the agency will not be able to pick it up until Monday at 2 p.m., and it may be that, as in example 1) your order will not arrive until Tuesday or Wednesday before 7 p.m.
Example 3) Best case
If you place your order early on a Tuesday, it is likely (if we have all your coffees roasted) that your order will leave on Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. and if the agency delivers it to you in less than 24 hours, you will have your coffee on Wednesday before 7:00 p.m.
Our transport agency, once it has received and processed the package, will send you an email with the tracking number so that you can manage any changes directly with them.
We want you to order coffee from us periodically and to have direct contact with you.

But we are sure that in this way we will become your trusted coffee supplier and that you will be the first to receive our communications with enthusiasm.

This information has little to do with what you usually find in supermarkets, and the only information you will have is whether it is natural roasted, blended or roasted (we talk about this below in another question).
When we talk about processes there are basically 3 types:
The degree of roast refers to how much a coffee bean has been roasted. Grades range from light roast, which retains many of the bean's natural flavors, to dark roast, which has a more roasted flavor and less of the bean's original flavors. In specialty coffee, the roast is carefully selected to highlight the unique flavors and characteristics of each bean.
In general, we apply a medium roast to our coffees, except in certain cases when we will apply a medium-low roast so as not to lose those delicate notes that tend to disappear with larger roasts.
We roast each coffee in a completely different way, and in our control tastings we define whether that coffee needs a different roast than the one we have done in order to further enhance its flavor notes.
All our coffees are Arabica and are roasted naturally , and in no case do we use roasting.
We only apply heat and do not add any extra ingredients, like roasting does, which adds sugar.
Many specialty coffee producers practice sustainable growing methods that protect the environment. This may include using shade to protect coffee plants and conserve biodiversity, water conservation through efficient irrigation systems, and composting coffee waste. Additionally, many specialty coffee producers receive a fair price for their product, allowing them to invest in sustainable agricultural practices.
In addition, our coffee bags are part of a CO2 compensation project.
