Brew For all brew methods

Arnaud used his years of international experience to create a micro-ecosystem from scratch, with coffee at the centre.

Terrazas del Pisque Caturra

Round and ripe washed Caturra

Arnaud grow coffee with zero pesticides, and very natural treatments for soil enrichment. For now, due to the arid climate in the region and very high altitude, reaching over 2100 masl at some parts of the farm, only 15 hectares of the 40 are planted with coffee. There are mainly traditional varietals like Caturra, but also some plots of varietals such as Java and Pacamara. It is the former that we have purchased this year with the help of our partners at Belco, a round and ripe washed Caturra lot. We’re finding ripe stone fruit alongside a creamy body and rich sweetness.

This washed Caturra displays round ripe stone fruit character alongside a rich confected sweetness.

Arnaud Causse

International experience

Arnaud Causse, a Frenchman and ex-Agricultural Engineer, has two farms in the Pinchincha region of Ecuador. His first, Las Tolas, was planted in the middle of a natural forest. This sounds like an ideal and biodiverse environment for coffee production, but as Arnaud’s coffee trees are an ‘intruder’ in an already balanced ecosystem, other plant species are easily able to out-compete coffee for nutrients, light or space. While the coffees from Las Tolas are delicious, this leads to a constant battle to keep the trees alive, and was something Arnaud wanted to avoid on his next farm, Terrazas del Pisque. Named for the nearby Pisque river, the farm is a distillation of Arnaud’s years of experience as an Agricultural Engineer; a balanced micro-ecosystem built from scratch with coffee at its centre. Several species of native trees were planted, such as Papaya, Avocado and Eucalyptus, in order to provide shade for the coffee, and add to the synergistic system. There are also bee-hives across the plantation, in order to help with pollination, the fruit trees attract birds to fight off fruit flies, and there are also patches of legumes in order to fix nitrogen into the soils.

Process Method

The washed process involves completely removing both the cherry and the mucilage from the outside of the parchment with the use of friction, fermentation and water. After being harvested, the coffee cherry is then sliced open by either a metal or a sharp plastic blade. The two seeds (also known as beans) are pushed out of the cherry, which leaves the seed with mucilage as their outermost layer. It is essential in the washed process that all mucilage is removed from the seed which leaves only the flavor that developed in the cell structure of the seed prior to processing.
