Brew Guide

The most important factors to a good brew are:

  • Soft Water (maximum 150ppm)

Water that is too hard contains an overly high concentration of certain minerals that mute desirable characteristics of coffee such as acidity, sweetness, aroma and body. If your water is too hard, consider using bottled or, filtered water.

  • Resting

After our coffee has been roasted, it requires 2 weeks of resting (left sealed in the bag) to allow CO2 be released, otherwise you may perceive roasty/bitter flavours that dissipate as the gas escapes. Rested coffee tastes sweeter and allows the characteristics of your coffee's origin, variety and processing to shine.

For guidance on specific brewing methods and equipment, see our brew guide.

A fantastic Yunnan lot, that thanks to a unique anaerobic washed process utilising butter during the fermentation process, allows the green coffee to chemically react on a molecular level to preserve aromas, esters and lipids of butter resulting in a uniquely creamy, dessert like coffee. 
 Ripe cherries are picked, traditionally washed and then placed into sealed bags with butter to anaerobically ferment for 3 days. They are then washed again before being dried.
In the final cup, expect intense sweetness, funkiness and creaminess that tastes like cheesecake, toffee, caramel, mascarpone, butter and cream. Paired with milk drinks, it's dessert in a cup. Black, it's intensely sweet with a buttery, creamy mouthfeel and some balanced funkiness that induces the mascarpone/cheesecake flavour notes.
