HACHI — MA (間)

Origin: Colombia
Producer: Diego Bermudez
Variety: Chiroso
Process: Symbiotic

THE CUP

A luminous and harmoniously layered coffee, MA (間) captures the quiet balance between vibrancy and elegance. This Chiroso, processed through Diego Bermudez’s pioneering Symbiotic Process, unfolds with ethereal white florals, delicate white peach, and a bright note of candied orange. The sweetness is refined and crystalline, reminiscent of simple syrup, bringing perfect poise to the cup.

THE PROCESS
The Symbiotic Process is about fusing the sensory characteristics of two distinct coffee varieties through a natural and mutual exchange — where one variety nourishes and elevates the other. Instead of discarding mosto (the liquid derived from previous fermentations), HACHI repurposes it as a transformative agent. The mosto’s pH is carefully adjusted and then used to ferment another variety with lower sensory complexity, creating a dynamic and layered cup.

In MA, this approach intertwines the sweet delicacy of a Gesha with the citric complexity and soft herbaceous depth of Chiroso, resulting in a coffee that feels both ethereal and grounded. Think of MA as an sensory interplay between Gesha and Chiroso.

WHY WE LOVE IT

In Japanese, MA (間) refers to the space between — the subtle tension where stillness and movement coexist. This coffee embodies that philosophy, balancing structure and sweetness with breathtaking precision. 

A transcendent expression of Chiroso, peppered with Gesha sweetness, one of Diego Bermudez’s most poetic creations to date.

What is the roast recency?

Native recommend brewing with beans that are at least two to three weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 6-9 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12 - should we have any left in stock!). 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.

Filter or Espresso? Both!

All of Native's coffees are profiled to be as fantastic in filter as they are in espresso.
