Juan's coffee education began in childhood, working alongside his father on school vacations. He bought his own property in 2016 and planted it with the Catimor variety that same year. In 2020, he renovated it and planted the Parainema variety with the goal of producing specialty coffees.
He works meticulously in the coffee processing. His 14 hour fermentation process takes place in concrete tanks, followed by thorough washing and finally a slow sun-drying phase.
Whole beans or pre-ground?
Coffee deteriorates much faster once it is ground, making whole beans the ideal way to purchase coffee. If you don't have a grinder though, all good!
Grind Guide
Whole Beans - not ground, you have your own grinder
Commercial Espresso - very fine for a commercial espresso machine
Home Espresso - quite fine for a domestic espresso machine
Stovetop - fine for percolator / moka pot
Pour Over - medium for pour over or aeropress
Plunger - course for plunger / french press
Batch Brewer - very course for Moccamaster and other batch brewers
