Råd til brygning

Vand er et af de mest væsentlige komponenter for at opnå en fremragende oplevelse med kaffen. Vi anbefaler at bruge mineralvand med en blød Total Dissolved Solids-værdi, ideelt liggende under 150ppm. Lær mere om vand og den effekt det har på smagen af kaffen her.

Giv kaffen hviletid Når kaffen får lov at hvile efter ristningen, opblødes de harske og skarpe smage, der endda kan betegnes som 'roast' karakterer, hvilket giver plads til at finere og lysere noter kan træde tydeligere frem.

Vi anbefaler at man lader kaffen hvile mindst 10 dage efter ristedatoen, og vi oplever ofte at kaffen når sit allerhøjeste niveau, især ved kaffer med høj densitet, efter 6 uger.

Brygning Vores ligefremme tilgang til kaffe bærer vi også med os over i brygningen. Vi anbefaler vores kaffer til alle bryggemetoder, uanset om det er immersion, perkolation eller espresso. Vi tror på at man ved at riste kaffen lyst, på sådan en måde at de iboende kvaliteter i råmaterialet fremvises.

Nueva Montaña

Antonio Gonzalez’ farm in the Fraijanes region is a returning favourite, often standing out on the cupping table during our Guatemalan buying. Fraijanes is much further south than Huehuetenango, where many of the Guatemalan lots we buy are grown. The region lies much closer to the Guatemalan capital Guatemala City, so has felt the effects of urbanisation, with higher costs of production and rising land values leading to some difficulty in maintaining a profitable coffee farm. 

Antonio’s farm, La Nueva Montaña, is a great example of the work that’s possible in the region, leading a move towards higher quality and differentiation in order to maintain his family business.

Together with his wife Eby Samayoa, Antonio has worked particularly hard on improving processing; intentionally creating expressions in the cup through careful use of fermentation. For the future, they hope to improve their agronomic practices to match this work, but these changes take time, gradually honing a new approach and allowing plants to adjust over several harvest seasons. For now, they work to minimise environmental contamination, and share their experience with surrounding farmers, giving tips on removing reliance on chemical inputs, making sure they too can have a successful and profitable business.

Natural Catuai

This particular lot is of the Catuai varietal, a dwarf mutation of the popular Caturra. The experience of creating high end lots, like the Maracaturra we purchased previously, has trickled down, improving Antonio’s wider work with less exotic varietals. This lot is a great example, pre-fermented in sealed plastic bags overnight for 14 hours, ready to be laid out on raised beds to dry the next day. The fermentation of this lot holds onto a juicy profile, with notes of ripe blueberry, finishing with rich brown sugar and dark chocolate.
