Luna is a brighter take, a reflection on our philosophy, and a step on our journey in coffee, and is suited for espresso, smaller espresso and milk drinks, or batch brew.
This is a new endeavour, a little further from home. Here we have more fresh fruit, more acidity, but still a deep sweetness and integrated structure. Luna is combined to promote the character of washed Ethiopia, Guatemala, Costa Rica, or often a single larger lot.
Refisa
This washed lot was processed at SNAP Coffee’s washing station in the town of Refisa, located in the Nansebo area, close to Sidamo. Coffee for this lot was delivered by 742 smallholders in the towns of Refisa, Roricho, Bulga, and Riripa.
The processing for this lot is typically Ethiopian, with a long, slow fermentation of up to 60 hours, creating a soft and complex expression in the cup. In the case of Refisa, this creates a deep sweetness, reminiscent of tinned peaches, underpinning the aromatic top notes of jasmine and citrus.
Brazil has faced increasing instability in recent years, driven by climate extremes and vulnerabilities in intensive agricultural systems, making it harder to secure consistent quality at acceptable prices.
As a result, we reassessed our approach to espresso sourcing, as fewer Brazilian lots met our standards for balanced, characterful milk drinks.
With Profiles, our goal is to deliver this experience year-round, widening our sourcing across the coffee belt - often blending carefully selected lots - to maintain both quality and a consistent profile.
Chacayá
This lot is an excellent example of this area of Guatemala, as Chacayá has a lower acidity and a more approachable profile than coffees from the Huehuetenango highlands, with milk chocolate, cherry and hazelnut notes.
Chacayá is produced on a patchwork of plots run by 150 smallholder producers. The Chacayá lands sit at 1500 masl looking over Lake Atitlán, in the municipality of San José Chacayá, Sololá. The former Chacayá estate was gradually passed on to local families during Guatemala’s post colonial land reform in the 1950’s, people from Xela, Chimaltenango, and Sololá.
