A washed Typica and Bourbon from the Cordillera highlands of northern Luzon. The coffee grows under the shade of Benguet pine and chayote vines at 1,300–1,650 masl, tended by Ibaloi and Kankanaey farming families who have cultivated Arabica in these mountains for generations. The cool, clouded climate and pine-forest shade slow the cherry ripening process, building density and sweetness before harvest.

Tip:Notes: As a light roast, this coffee shines with a slightly finer grind and hotter water to draw out its full sweetness and acidity. If the cup tastes sour or thin, grind finer or raise the temperature; if it tastes bitter, coarsen the grind. Watch the tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oB1oDrDkHM

  1. Set brewer in standard position on a server. Don't rinse or preheat the brewer (it doesn't make any difference).
  2. Start a timer, add 200mL water, aiming to wet all the coffee during pouring.
  3. Then immediately place the plunger on top of the brewer, about 1cm in. This creates a vacuum to stop the coffee from dripping through.
  4. Wait 2 minutes.
  5. Holding the brewer and the plunger, gently swirl the brewer.
  6. Wait 30 seconds.
  7. Press gently all the way, it takes about 30 seconds.
  8. Drink and enjoy!
