About

Coffee Expression A bright and complex profile with notes of tropical mango, while holding on to the crisp red berry acidity we’ve tasted from so many high altitude Nariño coffees.

Producer Jeison Liban López grows coffee perched on a steep mountainside in Buesaco, in Colombia’s mountainous Nariño region. Jeison’s grandfather, Franco Héctor López, has reached the national finals of the Cup of Excellence several times, and we have previously purchased coffee from Jeison’s mother, Alba Diela López, at her farm El Mirador.

Brühempfehlungen

Wasser ist eine der kritischsten Komponenten für ein ausgezeichnetes Kaffeeerlebnis. Wir empfehlen die Verwendung von Mineralwasser mit einem niedrigen Gesamtlösungsstoffgehalt, idealerweise unter 150 ppm. Erfahren Sie mehr über Wasser und dessen Auswirkung auf den Geschmack hier.

Geruhter Kaffee Während des Ruheprozesses mildern sich harte und adstringierende Aromen, die sogar als 'Röst'-Charakter wahrgenommen werden können, ab, was eine klarere und hellere Ausdrucksform des Charakters des Kaffees ermöglicht.  

Wir empfehlen, unsere Kaffees mindestens 10 Tage nach dem Röstdatum ruhen zu lassen, und wir finden oft ausgezeichnete Ergebnisse, besonders bei besonders dichten Kaffees, über 6 Wochen hinaus.

Brühen Unser unkomplizierter Ansatz beim Kaffee setzt sich beim Brühen fort. Wir empfehlen unseren gerösteten Kaffee für alle Brühmethoden, egal ob es sich um Immersion, Perkolation oder Espresso handelt. Wir glauben, dass es nur einen richtigen Weg gibt, einen einzelnen Kaffee zu rösten, nämlich leicht, so dass seine angeborenen Qualitäten freigesetzt werden und seine Qualität zur Geltung kommt.

El Estoraque

El Estoraque is a tiny 2 hectare plot where Jeison Liban López grows coffee perched on a steep mountainside in Buesaco, in Colombia’s mountainous Nariño region. We have come to appreciate coffees from Nariño over many years, for their dense sweetness and intense, concentrated flavours in the cup, with a high degree of clarity.  Incredibly high altitudes, often over 2000 masl, and excellent sun exposure mean sugar-rich, slow-matured coffee cherries, with ample fuel for fermentation and roasting to create complexity and intensity.

The López Family

Jeison is the youngest member of a well-known coffee growing family in the region. His grandfather, Franco Héctor López, for example, has reached the national finals of the Cup of Excellence several times, and is one of the leaders that helped put Buesaco on the speciality coffee map. We have also previously purchased coffee from Jeison’s mother, Alba Diela López, at her farm El Mirador. In 2023, Jeison himself became the youngest grower to reach the Cup of Excellence finals in Colombia’s history, a testament to the growth of a new generation in the county.

Jeison hopes to build on this success, finishing his education and diversifying his business on the farm, adding livestock, and several food crops, both in order to diversify his income, and to provide a biodiverse system in which coffee can thrive.

A careful process

This lot is a blend of the varietals grown on the farm, Caturra, Colombia and Castillo. The cherries are first placed in sealed containers for 24 hours, before de-pulping and a second sealed fermentation of 36 hours. The coffee is then thoroughly washed before drying on covered raised beds for 18 days. This careful fermentation translates the potential of these intensely sweet Nariño cherries into a bright and complex profile, with notes of tropical mango, while holding on to the crisp red berry acidity we’ve tasted from so many high altitude Nariño coffees.
