The technology

Steeped bags are a simple and elegant way to present a selection of the coffees we find most exciting, removing many brewing variables, and allowing quality and character to shine. Individual doses are ground and sealed in nitrogen-flushed packages, maintaining the clear aromatic character of freshly ground coffee, for over a year after roasting. Just add filtered water to enjoy one of our picks of the season.

Medina Espejo

Medina Espejo is a tiny 2 hectare plot where Mauro Tulcan grows coffee perched on a steep mountainside in Buesaco, in Colombia’s mountainous Nariño region. We have come to appreciate coffees from Nariño over many years, for their dense sweetness and intense, concentrated flavours in the cup, with a high degree of clarity.  Incredibly high altitudes, often over 2000 masl, and excellent sun exposure mean sugar-rich, slow-matured coffee cherries, with ample fuel for fermentation and roasting to create complexity and intensity.

The Tulcan Family

Mauro is a member of the Tulcan family, who have grown coffee outside the village of Medina Espejo for generations. Mauro’s plot was originally part of one of the largest coffee plantations in Buesaco, before being slowly split among siblings over the past half century. Mauro decided to name his small slice of this legacy after the village itself, a tribute to his family’s long history here.
