This lot was grown by Fernando Martinez in Nariño, Colombia and imported by Arango Specialty Coffee. Arango works with over one hundred coffee growing families in Colombia to produce specialty grade coffee, which is seen as a means to combat coffee price volatility. Over the last 20 years Fernando Martinez has been been managing and improving the farm. Currently, Fernando is budgeting to add a warehouse area at the farm for increased storage and more controlled conditions.

We recommend using a ratio of 17:1 water to coffee when brewing our coffees on any sort of drip coffee maker. When pulling shots of espresso, we recommend dosing 18g of coffee and pulling a 50g shot in 30s.
Pro tips:
- We love using a scale that measures in grams at our shop! Since all coffees have different densities, using a scoop doesn't always give us a consistent weight. So, If you are using 340g of water, you know using a 17:1 ratio that you will need 20g of coffee to get a great tasting brew!
- Grind size and freshness are also important! We recommend grinding every brew fresh with a burr grinder. If you don't have a burr grinder at home, select your coffee equipment and we'll be glad to get your coffee ground to the correct size!
