DO YOU EVEN PRE-HEAT GREENS

Okay not a very catchy title, but it’s a serious question. Not something I can take credit for either but something I can vouch for.

I am absolutely chuffed to offer two new coffees from Antigua in Guatemala sourced through Gelpo. Finca La joya Washed and Natural. These unique micro lot coffees are the result of new proceessing experiments on the farm. These coffees were an absolute joy to roast. The natural charged at a lower temp with a “softer” […]
