Colombia Las Guaduales Java - Washed Coffee Bean

The Signature Pour-Over Recipe

For the ultimate "clean & refreshing" finish, this light-medium single-origin bean is best pulled as a classic manual drip brew using the following parameters:

• Dose (In): 15 grams of freshly ground coffee (Medium-coarse grind)
• Yield (Out): 225 grams of water (1:15 brewing ratio)
• Water Temp: 91°C – 93°C
• Target Profile: Bright and crisp with distinct notes of green apple, lively citrus, and an aromatic floral finish, prioritizing a clean mouthfeel and refreshing clarity.

Versatile Brewing Options

If you aren't using a pour-over dripper, this versatile single-origin origin also performs beautifully across other daily brewing methods:

• Drip Coffee Machine: Great for a smooth, well-rounded, and comforting morning mug that highlights the natural apple sweetness.
• Siphon: Perfect for amplifying the volatile floral aromas and coffee blossom notes while maintaining a pristine, tea-like clarity.
• French Press / Immersion: Ideal for a balanced brew that coaxes out a slightly rounder fruit body while keeping the citrus notes vibrant.
• Moka Pot: Can be used to create a dense, intense stove-top extraction that delivers a sharp, fruit-driven punch.

Pro-Tips for Best Flavor

• Let it Rest: Allow your whole beans to rest in the sealed bag for 7 to 14 days from the roast date before brewing. This degassing phase ensures optimal flavor extraction and structural clarity.
• Storage: Keep the beans in their original packaging using the resealable zipper. Store it in a cool, dark pantry—never the refrigerator—to shield it from moisture and flavor-destroying condensation.

To keep your coffee beans tasting at their peak flavor, shield them from air, moisture, heat, and light.

1. Use the Original Bag
The packaging is already designed for optimal preservation. It features a resealable zipper and a recyclable degassing valve that lets carbon dioxide escape without letting oxygen in. Squeeze out excess air and zip it tightly after each use.

2. Store in a Cool, Dark Place
Place the bag in a kitchen pantry or cupboard. Keep it away from heat sources like ovens, microwaves, or sunny windows. Additionally, avoid storing it near strong spices, as coffee beans easily absorb surrounding odors.

3. Avoid the Refrigerator
Never store your daily coffee in the fridge. The temperature fluctuations from opening and closing the door create internal condensation, which ruins the essential oils and stales the beans rapidly.

Tip: If you bought whole beans, let them "rest" in the sealed bag for 7 to 14 days from the roast date before brewing. This allows the beans to de-gas, ensuring a smoother extraction for your espresso.
