Process Description

We're very excited to bring this incredible bean to you from the legendary Finca El Paraiso in Colombia. Founded by coffee visionaries Diego and Alex Bermudez, these brothers have managed to change the face of modern specialty coffee through game-changing science and a vision for unwavering quality. Known for being the creators of the revolutionary 'thermal shock' process, Finca El Paraiso is changing the landscape of specialty coffee through industry leading research in to microbiology, biodiversity and sensory evaluation, combined with cutting edge use of technology in wet processing, drying and water treatment. Finca El Paraiso is carving a new path in specialty coffee and reinventing the wheel with amazing results. Big Jelly is not one to be missed.

This coffee is an example how modern processing techniques can be used to create a truly outstanding coffee. Once the cherries have been picked the coffee is pulped and the mucilage is removed. The mucilage is then used to create a specific culture medium that further highlights the desired aromas and flavours of the coffee. This is added to the fermentation tanks for 12 hours where the coffee is put under high pressure to continue the fermentation process under precisely controlled conditions to create a consistent and meticulously processed coffee. The coffee then goes through a thermal shock process to lock and seal the flavours in at exactly the right point of development for maximum flavour. 

The coffee is then dried in a dehumidifier to preserve the soft notes of the coffee and avoid over-oxidisation which can alter the desired flavour profile. The coffee is then stabilised and stored ready for shipping.

This precise and accurate process ensures that each and every single one of these incredible beans has achieved its full potential creating an iconic and highly memorable cup of coffee you'll want to keep coming back for.

  1. Grind your coffee to a medium-coarse grind
  2. Weigh out your coffee, we always recommend 60g coffee to 1 litre of water.  For example: 400ml brew = 24g coffee
  3. Using fresh water, boil your kettle, fold the filter paper into your Chemex and flush with hot water to pre heat the Chemex and remove any papery taste. Discard the water
  4. Pour the ground coffee into the Chemex paper and gently shake to even out the coffee bed
  5. Start a timer then begin to bloom your coffee by pouring enough water to just cover and wet all the coffee and leave to steep for 30 seconds
  6. At 30 seconds begin to gradually add the rest of the water until all your water is added by 1 minute 30 seconds
  7. Allow the coffee to drain through the filter. If your grind is correct this should take approximately 5 minutes in total
  8. Pour and enjoy

  1. Grind your coffee a little coarser than table salt. You will need approx 15-17g of coffee.
  2. Boil your kettle with fresh water.
  3. Add your boiled water to the brewing chamber, just up to the fill line.
  4. Fill the basket with coffee, slightly mounded, and level the surface off with your finger. Brush away loose grounds on the top edge of the filter basket.
  5. Carefully screw the top of the brewer to the bottom not over-tightening it.
  6. Place the Moka pot on your stove over a medium heat ensuring the handle is not in any direct heat.
  7. Keep the lid open and wait for the coffee to extract into the top chamber.
  8. Once the coffee starts to bubble out of the inner spout and no more liquid emerges carefully take the Moka pot off the heat and run the bottom chamber under a cold tap to stop any further extraction.
  9. Pour and enjoy.
