The story of Daisy

This lot from Daisy Acevedo has somewhat of a backstory. Daisy is the daughter of Gustavo Acevedo, who we have purchased coffee from in the past. Gustavo has grown coffee all his life, near the town of La Celia in Risaralda, mainly of lower quality Castillo and Catimor plants. A few years ago, Daisy and her husband Freddy returned from living in Panama with stories of a varietal that was taking the coffee world by storm and making producers in the country good money for their crops - Geisha.

On her return to Risaralda, Daisy attempted to get hold of some seeds locally for her father, but without much success. On a return visit to Panama, Daisy and Freddy were able to procure some seeds, but weren’t sure if they were of the correct Geisha varietal. They planted them on Gustavo’s farm outside La Celia, and almost forgot about them.

Varietal: Mundo Novo

Esmeril

Maria Bernardete Jordan Oliveira has always been involved with coffee. She grew up in a family of coffee producers, and received her own plot as an inheritance in 1996, the 15 hectares that would become Fazenda Esmeril. This is a rather small farm in the modern Brazilian landscape, so Maria and her husband initially struggled with a lack of capital to buy machinery, and hire workers. It was here that they found their focus on quality, aiming to increase their income without expanding aggressively, or succumbing to excessive cost cutting and automisation.

The natural process was used here, allowing a typically sweet and heavy profile to unfold, with notes of dark chocolate and hazelnut joined by sweet cherry in the cup.

Brewing

Espresso

Here we recommend resting your coffee for even longer, in our bars in Aarhus we try to use coffee that has been roasted more than 3 weeks ago for espresso. Espresso is also measured slightly differently, here we measure the ratio of dry coffee to the yield of espresso in the cup. For this we recommend placing a small set of scales under your cup as you brew, to measure the weight of espresso as it falls. When we brew our coffees, we recommend starting with a 1:2 ratio of dry coffee to espresso yield, and using the same rules as above to adjust grind size.
