Los Pirineos farm is operated by fifth-generation coffee producer Diego Baraona. Diego works to carry on a tradition and legacy built on more than 130 years of his family’s experience, history, and knowledge in coffee cultivation. The farm sits at 1,400 meters above sea level on the slopes of a standalone volcano. This unique positioning provides a microclimate unlike any other, with sun-filled days and cool breezes that create an environment ideal for coffee production, processing, and drying.
This coffee is named “Elite,” a tribute to the 90-year-old Bourbon trees on Diego’s farm—a name given by his father to honor their heritage. This particular Bourbon lot underwent a washed processing method. After being freshly harvested, the cherries were pulped using water to remove the fruit from the parchment layer. The washed beans were then spread over shaded, raised beds, where they dried for 45 days until reaching their optimal humidity level.
This coffee is roasted for filter - meaning, a light roast. We roast our seasonal coffees in this manner because we wish for the coffee to shine as it is - for it to display the characteristics that have produced its excellent quality. This kind of roast allows the natural flavours, acids and sugars of the coffee to be in the front, and lets you learn about its origin through taste. As the name says, it's best used in filter coffee methods, such as drip or immersion, so while making an espresso from these is possible, it could prove tricky.
We recommend you enjoy this coffee within 6 months of the roasting date.
Store in a dry and cool place, between +16 and +25 degrees.
