  • The majority of farmers in Doi Pangkhon (300 families) have switched to processing their coffee using a Kenya-style double-washed method. This involves pulping coffee cherries at night and leaving the parchment to ferment in a tank without the use of water for one night. And then on the second night, the parchment is then fermented again, but this time by soaking it under water. This process is also known as a double fermentation washed method, commonly seen in Africa. The parchment is then dried on bamboo-raised beds until the right moisture content before getting hulled, size sorted, density sorted and hand sorted to remove all the defects.

    Full bodied and full of dark chocolate, this is a refined version of a classic flavour profile. There's a delicate red apple note and sultanas on the finish of this clean and well balanced cup.

    Roasting Information
    Medium-dark - This may take a fraction more heat than you expect, but need to be pushed to the end of the gap so that the full, dark chocolate notes come through.

    Fine Filter: Moka pot, AeroPress, single cup pour-over (e.g. Hario V60 01, Chemex 1-3 cup, Kalita 155). Fine filter also works well for home espresso machines like the De'Longhi Dedica.

    If you're interested in getting yourself a grinder, we have a great selection to choose from! Click here to check them out.

    *Please note that some home espresso machines will struggle with a standard espresso grind due to the wide variety of machines on the market and the difference in spec when compared to commercial espresso machines. If you are unsure whether this applies to your personal home set-up please get in touch.
