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.

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.

V60

Tiko recipe

Aiming for: Pecan, toffee, nougat.

Coffee: 15 g
Water: 250 g
Temperature: 96 °C
Grind: medium-fine
Time: 3:00–3:15
Ratio: 1:16.7

Pour schedule

0:00 — bloom Pour 45 g of water and wait 45 seconds. This is when the carbon dioxide leaves — without it the water can't pass evenly through the bed.
0:45 — Pour 2 Add 100 g (145 g in total), pouring slowly in circles and keeping off the edge.
1:30 — Pour 3 Add 105 g (250 g in total), pouring slowly in circles and keeping off the edge.
2:20 — drawdown It should have drained by now. Much later, grind coarser; much earlier, grind finer.

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

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

Chemex

Tiko recipe

Aiming for: Pecan, toffee, nougat.

Coffee: 30 g
Water: 500 g
Temperature: 96 °C
Grind: medium
Time: 4:15–4:45
Ratio: 1:16.7

Pour schedule

0:00 — bloom Pour 80 g of water and wait 45 seconds. This is when the carbon dioxide leaves — without it the water can't pass evenly through the bed.
0:45 — Pour 2 Add 210 g (290 g in total), pouring slowly in circles and keeping off the edge.
2:00 — Pour 3 Add 210 g (500 g in total), pouring slowly in circles and keeping off the edge.
3:30 — drawdown It should have drained by now. Much later, grind coarser; much earlier, grind finer.

0:30 — Pour 2 Add 190 g (240 g in total), pouring slowly in circles and keeping off the edge.
1:30 — plunge Stir once, fit the filter and press down steadily over 20–30 seconds.
