Our RED BOURBON is a truly sweet Berry & Fruity, clean, and delicate coffee experience. Not funky nor intense like full cherry co-ferments.

Our INTENTION was to bring forth new aromatic FLAVOUR DEVELOPMENT. The full complexity of the coffee processed with our KAKAW KAPE™ innovation unfolds often 4 weeks from roast date. And note, as the cup cools down to 73°C the coffee becomes sweeter and with a higher fruity complexity.

Our IMPACT is a sustainable processing method that uses 0 water, produces 0 waste water contamination and upcycles the most delicious part of the cacaofruit, the pulp, frequently discard as waste in cacao production.

This is a nano-lot coffee processed by ourselves at Finca La Senda, this good quality variety has been elevated by our processing innovation rendering it sweeter and more complex. This batch of coffee was harvested and processed in Acatenango at 1850 MASL, showcasing unique, high-quality flavor profiles. This special lot offers a one-of-a-kind tasting experience.

A groundbreaking coffee-processing innovation, which patent has been filed in EU. This new processing method integrates elements of fine cacao with wet and thermo-shock processing methods using 0 water, replacying it with upcycled cacao-fruit often dicarded as waste, producing 0 waste water contamination and unlocking new flavour compounds in coffee through two anaerobic co-fermentations with more than 120 hours, one short aerobic and thermo-shock drying in raised drying beds.

Filter: Medium Filter coarse grind - 15 g dose – 245 g water Brew ratio 1:16 91 Celsius. Blooming 1:3 in 30 seconds (45g) and 4 pours of 50 g water with pause of 10 seconds. Recommended total brew time two and half minutes.

Espresso: We tend to overdose with a slightly more coarse grind with a dose of 20,5 to 21 g in and 44 Brew ratio 1:2.2 93 celcius in 26 to 28 seconds. We recommend this ratio for a juicy espresso shot that is bright, fruity, floral and sweet. For espresso milk beverages, you will need a shorter pulled shot 1:1.9 ratio with 21 to 22 g dose and yield around 36 g out for more intense espresso and milk experience.

TDS % recommendation Filter 1.30 to 1,40 & Espresso 10,3% but you can move freely to experience difference nuances in flavor between 10 and 11%.

Extraction % fruity and more acidic in the mark of 19% and for more intense and mature fruit and caramel notes 21%.

Water recommendation: TDS 100 / Clear color & Odor and Chlorine free / Calcium Hardness around 40 but advisable 38 to 68mg/L / Alkalinity total 40 mg/L and PH 7 to 7.5

Using Zero water: Add 6 drops APAX Jamn, 2 drop Lycac and 1 drop Konflux for 245 g brew.
