Espresso

$23.99

A single origin espresso (SOE) with traditional notes of caramel, nuts and a subtle brightness that provide a unique and elevated mouthfeel, but an unmistakable and balanced "coffee" taste. Intended to be served as an espresso, or as the base of a milk drink, but roasted lightly enough to preserve its unique terroir and layered flavor profile.

Recommended brewing methods: Espresso, Cold brew, Aeropress, French Press.

Independently cupped by certified Q-graders in both China and the US with an average score of 83.

Grown and processed in Menglian county, Pu'er, Yunnan, China, the province that grows nearly all of China's coffee. Roasted fresh in Brooklyn.
Brewing

Rest: We recommend resting the beans for 2-4 weeks before brewing.  

Espresso: Since espresso setups differ so wildly, we do not recommend a singular recipe for this bean. Instead, we offer the following guidance, assuming a regular, 9-bar setup.

Start with 19g in 45g out, following a wider 1:2.5 ratio rather than the traditional 1:2 espresso ratio. For timing, aim for between 24-26 seconds.

Filter: For pourover, aeropress, french press and Cold brew, we recommend using whatever recipe you have found success with as a starting point. 

If you have traditionally used washed process coffees, we recommend you increase the grind size and decrease water temperature.

Dialing in: If its sour, try a finer grind size. If its bitter or drying, try coarser. If its too weak, use more coffee or less water.

Shipping

We use UPS. You can expect shipping to take 4-5 business days at the longest.
