The technology behind

Steeped

Just add filtered water to enjoy one of our picks of the season.

These Steeped bags are a simple and elegant way to present a selection of the coffees we find most exciting, removing many brewing variables, and allowing quality and character to shine.

Individual doses are ground and sealed in nitrogen-flushed packages, maintaining the clear aromatic character of freshly ground coffee, for over a year after roasting.

Simple brewing

Steeped

The brewing process is incredibly straightforward, simply pour 220 ml of filtered water over one Steeped bag, dunk, wait and enjoy. This makes the bags ideal on the go, while travelling or outdoors, anywhere you don’t have access to your normal coffee set up.

Each Steeped bag corresponds to one cup of coffee, use several to brew a larger batch.

Using filtered water with a low mineral content is still essential for the best experience. Read more about water for coffee brewing here.

Guatemala

Marta Dominguez

Marta Neli Dominguez works with her family on their tiny plot of land in the rural Huehuetenango region. Marta is a second generation coffee producer, having inherited her land from her parents, and she hopes to pass on her passion to her children. She felt encouraged to follow her interest in agriculture by her parents, so has experienced what it is like to manage a farm from an early age. Over the past couple of harvests, Marta has sold directly to Primavera’s roastery in Guatemala City, La Central de Café, and her interest in growing the quality of her coffee has only increased. This also leads to a more sustainable business, one which she is yet more motivated to pass on to her children.

This lot, a mix of Bourbon and Caturra, was picked and processed by Marta and her family. They have no fixed wet mill, so often move their plastic tanks and hand cranked de-pulper around the farm to follow the harvest. After de-pulping, the coffee is fermented in these small plastic tanks for around 30 hours, before being washed and dried on patios near the house. The coffee is turned often, to ensure an even drying in rather cool conditions at over 1600 masl. This approach to fermentation creates a soft yet fresh cup, with fresh herbal aromatics and a crisp citrus acidity.
