Where it comes from

Waykan is not a farm but a selection: smallholder lots from Huehuetenango, chosen on cup quality and traceable to the region. The name means star in the Maya Q’anjob’al language — the light that shines in the sky at night. Somewhere around eighty per cent of the local economy depends on coffee, directly or indirectly. In the cup: praline and pecan with a soft, candy-like sweetness. It is the classic Central American profile, and the easiest one to ruin in the roaster.

The whole lot

Freshness and storage

The bag carries the roast date, so you can see exactly when it was made.

Whole bean is best between 4 and 8 weeks; ground, a few days. Keep it in a sealed bag at room temperature, away from light — the fridge doesn't help, and the freezer only works if you don't keep opening it.

Recipes

How we brew it

These are not generic recipes. The roast level and the character of the lot together set the parameters — and we've written down why.

Espresso

Tiko recipe

Aiming for: Pecan, toffee, nougat.

Coffee: 18 g
Yield: 36 g
Temperature: 92.5 °C
Grind: fine
Time: 25–28 s

Why this way: A washed Central American with predictable extraction. The textbook parameters work — what matters here is a steady pour, not a trick.

About our dark: Our dark roast stops at around 18% development and never reaches second crack — so it takes hotter water than a typical "dark roast" recipe would tell you.

If it's off: Pour evenly, working outwards from the centre. If the nuttiness goes missing, grind slightly finer.

Moka pot

Tiko recipe

Aiming for: Pecan, toffee, nougat.

Coffee: filled basket, loosely
Temperature: pre-heated water
Grind: medium
Time: ~3,5 perc
