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.

Angel Vásquez
Jorge and Angel Rojas Vásquez were born into a coffee-growing family in La Armenia, near Planadas in Tolima. They tragically lost their father at the age of five, and grew up in a world surrounded by coffee trees and hard work. By the time Jorge was 12, he had taken responsibility for the family farm, while Angel was still too young. As the brothers grew older, they knew their calling was to embark on their own journey with coffee.
La Roca Estate
In 2010, Jorge took ownership of La Roca Estate, a 4.5-hectare plot at over 1,800 meters above sea level, where he and Angel dedicated themselves to producing high-quality specialty coffee. Nestled in the mountains among natural reserves and waterfalls, La Roca is home to quality varietals such as Geisha and Pink Bourbon.
It was here that Jorge and Angel developed their meticulous approach to coffee, earning them numerous awards, including a third place in the Cup of Excellence in 2023, with a lot from Angel’s plot, El Cedral.
This lot is from the plot Angel manages, El Cedral, where the Cup of Excellence lot was grown. Angel and Jorge focus heavily on processing; using the central processing facilities at the larger La Roca farm to process all of their coffee.
This lot of Typica underwent honey processing. Cherries are harvested at peak ripeness before floating to remove defects, foreign material and underripes. After floating, cherries are allowed to ferment for 24 hours in open tanks, de-pulped, then fermented again for 60 hours in closed tanks. The coffee is then taken directly to the drying beds for a slow drying over 10 days under plastic drying tunnels, allowing for greater control over the process.
This results in a honey Typica that is soft, complex and aromatic, with notes of ripe stone fruit, oolong tea, and floral honey.
