Beschreibung

By Herbert from 575 and LaREB:

“This is an incredible coffee. Everyone involved – the producer, Q team, and clients alike – agreed on that. It didn’t take much convincing, as it was arguably the best coffee LaREB assessed in 2021. Clean, bright, transparent; a true expression of what a great Colombian Gesha should be, while proudly showcasing its terroir.

What makes a coffee exceptional? Is it the terroir, the variety, the process? A combination of all these factors – or simply the skill of the producer?

Julián may well be a coffee virtuoso, though even he might not know it yet. This is the first harvest from his first small plot, planted with a heirloom varietal. The same seeds have produced outstanding cups in the hands of more seasoned local producers, even reaching COE finals. But Julián’s cup goes further. Complex, crystal-clear, leaving no room for doubt. Perhaps its strength lies in its modesty – no glitter, no excess, just honesty. A straightforward coffee, crafted with intention. The first step for someone with a very bright future ahead.

Sometimes, luck feels better than skill. But is it really luck when the outcome is deliberate? For AMOC, this is pure serendipity – the power of intention.”

AMOC fully agrees with Herbert: this nanolot is extraordinary.

What is the roast recency?

We recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 8-12 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (at least 2 weeks but no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12). For peak flavour, if you are looking to use immediately, we recommend purchasing the rested beans. If you are adding to your rotation of beans, we recommend purchasing the standard and allowing the beans to naturally rest and mature whilst you rotate through other beans.
