Coming up next week with Hydrangea is a banger. Finca Putushio, Washed Typica Mejorada by Jose Jijon! 

Hydrangea is also doing a SUPER light roast for this special coffee from Loja in Ecuador. We don't often see this. In order to facilitate the correct numbers, we are opening up pre-orders for a week before our purchase next week. All the Jijon will be roasted on October 19th! 

NOTE: If you purchase this coffee with any other coffee currently in stock, your order will be held until this coffee with us around the 26th-28th October, then your order will be dispatched together. If you wish to purchase this together with other items, please email and we can arrange something!

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 6-12 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 - 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.

What does 'Filter' or 'Espresso' Roast mean?

Typically filter is roasted lighter than espresso, though this is not always the case. Several factors play into what brands a Manhattan coffee as 'filter' or 'espresso', which includes the roast profile - i.e. how the beans are roasted, not just how developed a roast it is. It doesn't preclude you from using the beans for espresso though!
