Where it comes from

Huila sits in south-western Colombia, between the central and eastern ranges of the Andes. The department grows something like a fifth of the country's coffee, yet four out of five of its producers work less than three hectares — this lot is built from ten to thirty such farms, cupped in Pitalito. Pear, cooked apple, cooked orange and dark chocolate, with juicy acidity and a sugary sweetness. When someone is starting out with specialty coffee, this is the one I put in their hands.

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: Pear, cooked apple, orange.

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

Why this way: A Castillo with juicy acidity. The aim is to keep the pear and apple — standard temperature and a calm two-stage pour is all it takes.

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: Don't rush the last pour; if it drains too fast the finish turns sour.
