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.

Alto Naranjal
Alto Naranjal is a 12 hectare plot on a steep mountainside outside of Buesaco, where Leonardo Loaiza grows coffee 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 Loaiza Family
Leonardo is a member of the Loaiza family, who have been working with coffee outside the village of Medina Orjuela for generations. While this lot technically comes from Leonardo, he works this land together with his brothers Eduardo, Miguel and Fernando. 12 hectares is a rather large farm in rural Nariño; the Loaiza brothers decided to continue their work together instead of splitting the land, as often happens here. The farm is named for the nearby village of Naranjo; Alto Naranjal refers to what was once the highest farm in the area.
A careful process
The farm is planted with different varietals, those most popular in the area; Caturra, Colombia and Castillo. Over the past few years, together with agronomists from Inconexus, the Loaiza brothers have attempted to reduce their reliance on chemical inputs, transitioning to a more natural method of farming. Balancing the shade, reforesting some of the land and careful management of soil health have been the keys here.
This lot is a blend of the varietals on the farm, processed using a washed method. This translates the potential of these intensely sweet Nariño cherries into a complex profile with notes of bright citrus, alongside a crisp balance between red berry acidity and deep dried fruit sweetness.
