What is GourmetCoffee Specialty?
It's a select coffee that we've carefully chosen and Beansmith Roastery has processed for us. There are many definitions, the SCA (Select Coffee Association) specifically states that these are coffees that score at least 80 out of 100 in a professional evaluation, and contain no significant defects in taste. You will also always find 100% transparency (farms, importer, roaster and retailer) with our select coffees.
What's different about our selection coffees?
Don't expect a distinct bitterness in the coffee, as they are roasted lighter than regular coffees. As a rule, you will find more fruity flavours in them. All of our coffees are primarily intended for home brewing like filter coffee, but that doesn't mean they can't be interesting in a mocha pot.
Preparation tip
We don't write down the exact coarseness of the grind because every grinder has it differently, but you can try grinding to get about what we've got below. But it's really one of many different cases. It's just kind of a jumping off point.

Information from the farmer
Robinson Rivera Muelas, a 38 year old coffee farmer from Piendamó in the Cauca region, owns El Silencio Farm, located in the village of El Agrado at an altitude of 1740 metres. He grows the caturra variety on his farm and produces around 7000 kg of coffee a year.
In addition to growing coffee, Robinson also helps smaller growers in the area who do not have the necessary processing equipment. For them, he processes and dries their coffee cherries. He uses a unique method of double anaerobic fermentation, which combines an initial anaerobic stage with a final aerobic stage. Subsequent drying takes place in both mechanical and parabolic dryers.
Robinson is now in his sixth year as an active member of the local ACC growers' association, where he is a founding member and legal representative. Through his work in the association, he shares knowledge and helps improve the practices of small producers in the region.
