November's Sweet Tooth Offering
Sebastián Benitez grows these Pacas cherries on his small, 2-hectare farm, Finca La Piñona, 1615 meters above sea level near the beautiful town of El Cielito.Working the farm with the help of his wife and their 12 children, Sebastián relies the help of only a handful of employees during the harvest, and manages to do all of the coffee-farming himself, in addition to red beans, corn, and green vegetables. He also processes his own coffee in a small mill, pulping the coffee by hand and fermenting it in a small cement tank. The coffee is dried under the careful watch of Beneficio San Vicente, an agronomic and agricultural consultant in the area.
<br>As espresso, our favorite shots are 20 grams, 24-26 seconds, which reveal Finca La Piñona's delightful passionfruit aroma, peach and apricot sweetness, and notes of honey and oolong tea.<br/>
<br/>
What is Sweet Tooth?
<b>Sweet Tooth</b>, A single origin espresso
As a roaster that is committed to promoting our producers and bringing them out of anonymity, single origin espresso has always been important to us. What's more, the best shots of espresso we've ever had have been single origin--dynamic, sweet, and complex. They are balanced, and good in milk, to boot.
Throughout the year, we will be showcasing eight to twelve single producers under the name Sweet Tooth, in homage to our original Sweet Tooth blend, an anti-blend that explicitly showcased the producers whose coffees comprised it. Sweet Tooth will be a rotating single origin on which we've put our stamp of approval as a great shot of espresso.
