Where it comes from
This coffee comes from Huila, in south-western Colombia, between the central and eastern ranges of the Andes. The department grows something like a fifth of the country's coffee, yet four out of five of its producers work less than three hectares — this lot is built from ten to thirty such farms, cupped in Pitalito. Pear, cooked apple, cooked orange and dark chocolate, with juicy acidity and a sugary sweetness. When someone is starting out with specialty coffee, this is the one I put in their hands.

Freshness and storage
The bag carries the roast date, so you can see exactly when it was made.
Whole bean is best between 4 and 8 weeks; ground, a few days. Keep it in a sealed bag at room temperature, away from light — the fridge doesn't help, and the freezer only works if you don't keep opening it.

How to brew it
The filter already holds the ground coffee — 11 g, exactly one serving. All you need is a mug and hot water.
- Tear the sachet open at the mark and take out the filter.
- Fold out the side tabs and hang the filter on the rim of the mug.
- Pour just enough hot water (92–94 °C) to cover the grounds and wait 30 seconds. That's the bloom.
- Top it up in two or three pours, 180–200 ml of water in total.
- When it has dripped through (2–3 minutes), lift the filter out and bin it. Done.
Too strong? Add a splash of hot water to the mug. Too weak? Pour more slowly next time.
