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 50 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.

Altos del Abejonal
Altos del Abejonal lies at 1800 masl in the Tarrazú region, approximately 70 kilometres south of Costa Rica’s capital, San José. The Talamanca Sierra runs through the region, with peaks reaching above 3000 masl. Nearby, the regional capital of San Marcos sits at 1350 masl and is home to around 9000 people. It serves as the centre of an area renowned for its high-quality coffee. The volcanic soil and afternoon cloud cover provide Mauricio with ideal conditions for producing clean, expressive coffees at Altos. Alongside Geisha, the farm also grows Catuai, Typica, Obata and SL28.
Mauricio
We first met Mauricio by chance in March 2014, while visiting farms in Tarrazú as guests of the exporter Exclusive Coffees. Our driver stopped to deliver a gift to the son of a friend, who had broken his hip. There, we got talking to the boy’s father, Mauricio, a coffee farmer whose son dreamed of becoming a barista. The following day, we visited Altos and bought our first couple of bags of coffee from the farm.
2026 marks our twelfth year buying coffee from Mauricio. In 2021, we released our first Geisha from Altos. Two years later, we cupped our way through the farm’s day lots at Exclusive’s lab in San José alongside Mauricio Jr., who had by then qualified as a cupper and taken responsibility for processing at the farm. In 2024, Junior visited us in Copenhagen, where we showed him around our roastery and coffee shop.
Red Honey Geisha
This is our second Geisha release from Altos. The first was a white honey lot from the 2021 harvest. In honey processing, the amount of mucilage left on the seed during drying influences the character of the cup. More mucilage tends to produce a profile closer to natural processing, with greater ripeness, sweetness and body, while less results in a cup closer to washed processing, with brighter and more tea-like qualities. Red honey retains more mucilage than white honey, bringing greater fruit sweetness and body to this lot while allowing the floral character of the Geisha to shine through. The cherries are pulped using Mauricio’s Penagos Eco-Pulper, a machine designed to reduce water and electricity consumption at the micro-mill.
This lot has notes of orange, grapes, red berries and milk chocolate, with floral aromatics and a silky, tea-like body.
