First of all it is a pleasure to be able to sell Mr. Fabio Caballero’s coffee from Finca Santa Isabel. We have decided that this is our Christmas special lot as we only have around 300kg of this coffee.

We have also changed the following coffees:

• New TW Espresso – now a new lot from the Caballeros from their farm Los Cipreses.

• A New El Puente lot from the Caballeros is replacing the old one. This new lot is not traditionally fermented to remove the mucilage but has been processed with an aqua pulper. The coffee is even cleaner and crisper than the previous one.

• A new lot with Bourbon coffee  from Nacimiento is replacing the previous Catuaì lot. The Bourbon is picked on the 7th of March and has a lot of juicy blueberry flavors.

The new espresso is a single estate coffee from the Caballeros in Honduras.

We have bought a very exciting coffee from El Salvador this year, from the farm Los Pirineos. Gilberto Baraona has competed with his coffees in the El Salvador Cup of Excellence for several years, and last year we bought a lot from his Las Palmas farm on the CoE auction. We are very proud to be able to sell his coffee this year as well. For more info on Gilberto and his coffee go here.

The coffee will be for sale from tomorrow (Thursday 14th of july) and will also be featured in our new espresso blend that we will start roasting tomorrow as well.

The TW espresso blend now consists of:
80 % Los Pirineos from El Salvador
20 % Tekangu from kenya.

As you all know by now, the prices of green coffee has increased a lot for the past year and therefore we have had to adjust the price for the espresso slightly. To read more about Raining prices, go here.

We strongly recommend to use the new VST filterbaskets. Both the 18g basket and the 22g basket is great for our coffee.
The VST filters makes it a lot easier to extract the espresso properly which gives a lot more sweetness in the cup. They are also more or less identical to eachother which makes it easy to be more consistent when brewing on several groups at the same time.
You can buy the filters here. Just make sure they fit your machine. (Fits all La Marzocco machines)

Just for the record, we do not have any commitments to VST. We just happen to use the filters and are extremely happy with them.

With the VST 18 gram filterbasket, we recommend the following brewing parameters:

• 18 – 19 grams freshly ground coffee
• 22 – 26 seconds brewing time
• 25 – 30 grams of final brew liquid in the cup
• 93°C – 94°C brew water temperature

Here is the taste profile of the new blend:
Flavours of cherries, caramel and milk chocolate.
Low acidity. Creamy mouthfeel with intense sweetness.
Clean sweet finish.

The blend consists of:
73 % Sitio Nossa Senhora Aparecida, Sao Paulo, Brasil (Natural)
27 % Sumidouro, Bahia, Brasil (Washed)
