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.

Monkaaba

Monkaaba was founded in 2020 by Esnaider Ortega Gomez and Didier Ortega. Esnaider formerly worked for a larger exporter, but could see that a greater level of transparency, fairness and commitment was possible in the supply chain. In collaboration with Brendan Adams of Semilla, now Monkaaba’s import partner, they set about building their vision.

San Agustin

Esnaider grew up in a household that valued support, community and collaboration. Monkaaba has been built on these values from the start. His father has always been a coffee producer, but instead of seeing others as competition, he has sought to build a community around coffee production, even helping some of his former pickers with loans to purchase their first land.

Esnaider and Didier started together with a small group of 6 families, basing their operation out of the family home outside of San Agustin, in Southern Huila. Since then, Monkaaba has grown steadily; for the 2025 harvest they worked together with 80 families around San Agustin, and moved into their own bodega in town.

By producers, for producers

Transparency is a key element of Monkaaba. Producers, even those who don’t work with the project, can bring their coffee, cup it blind with the team, and get feedback on how they could improve. Those who work in the bodega are producers themselves, controlling each stage of the process from farm to export, and ensuring everything remains accessible for members of the project. As producers themselves, the Monkaaba team understands the issues and day to day challenges of this work, and aim to support in any way they can.

Jenaro Burbano

Jenaro is the eldest of nine siblings, so he has had to take responsibility beyond his years since an early age. He was born into a coffee family in San Agustin, and began working on farms in the area at the age of 11, contributing to his family. It was here that Jenaro gained his first hands on experience with coffee and set the scene for his later work on his own land. He was eventually able to purchase a small plot at the age of 20, but still struggled to make ends meet, even having to take work on other farms. Jenaro’s hard work has paid off, he has now been producing coffee for 40 years, and seeking direct relationships through speciality coffee for the last 12 of those. This Pink Bourbon is an illustration of his years of experience.
