We only have a limited amount of this coffee, each 200G box will be hand numbered 1-150!
*only available in wholebean*

Gerardo has been working in the coffee world for as long as he's been alive. As a third generation producer, speciality coffee is in his blood. Never settling, Gerardo made the transition to organic agriculture, with the support of COMSA, to work on the production of organic fertiliser within their plots. He understood that the land needs to be highly nourished to improve yield and to have a sustainable and environmentally friendly production.
 
For Gerardo and his wife Fátima, producing coffee is a family tradition which began nearly a century ago. Being third generation producers their names have become synonymous with coffee of the highest quality. They still maintain the values of the generations before them; producing specialty coffee and maintaining environmentally friendly practices. Their farm isn't just their income, it's a family heritage and history that they are lucky enough to be able to continue for their children and grandchildren for generations to come.
 
The Geisha coffee trees are planted between 1450 to 1500 metres above sea level. Depending on the weather, the fermentation varied between 24 to 36 hours. Once the fermentation step was finished, the coffee was de-pulped and washed, and then moved to the raised beds to be sun-dried for 15 to 17 days. This coffee was spread a bit thicker with the purpose of making a slower drying time to further develop the flavour.
 

“A huge thank you for choosing our coffee, as it fills our hearts to know that you are enjoying one of the best coffees in the world. Every coffee bean carries the effort and passion of myself, my family, and our collaborators, and we hope you continue to be with us for many more years” - Gerardo Peñalva.

  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.
