About

Coffee Expression Concepción showcases complex floral and herbal aromas, alongside a creamy body.

Producer Finca Concepción was founded in 1890 as a cattle farm, and bought by the Braun Valle family more than a hundred years ago. Vanessa Braun Valle has recently stepped up her focus on quality, planting a garden of exotic varietals in 2020. This lot is from the garden, from the very young Pacamara trees.

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.
