Miguel Estela Marshell, Washed | Peru

MEET THE PRODUCER

Miguel Estela is a third-generation coffee farmer in Cajamarca, Peru, dedicated to raising the standard of quality in his community. Leading by example, he carefully tends his farm with precision in every stage—from planting the rare Marshell varietal to managing harvest and drying practices. His attention to detail ensures that every cherry reaches its full potential while inspiring surrounding farmers to elevate their own practices.

TRUST THE PROCESS

This coffee is washed and meticulously processed under Miguel’s supervision to highlight the vibrant, clean characteristics of the Marshell varietal. By carefully controlling fermentation, drying, and handling, the beans develop a structured acidity and layered aromatics that reflect both the terroir and the dedication behind the farm. The result is a consistently clean and complex cup that showcases the subtle nuances of each harvest.

TAKE A SIP

The cup opens with warm, inviting apple cider notes, evolving as it cools into a symphony of pear, apricot, lime zest, vanilla bean, and delicate jasmine. Each sip is dynamic and layered, offering a slow-unfolding experience that rewards careful tasting. This is a coffee to savor, sip by sip, letting the intricate flavors reveal themselves over time.

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.
