Niebla is the Spanish word for “fog,” and this coffee comes from the high slopes of the Andes, where the mornings are often wrapped in mist. This coffee is a fantastic representation of Colombian coffee – complex acidity, plenty of sweetness, and a rich body. Perfect for filter brewing, but also exceptional as espresso and in milk-based drinks like cappuccino.

Colombia and coffee share a deep, long-standing tradition that goes back generations. This coffee is a great example of Colombian coffee at its best — known for its balanced and complex cup profile.

Antioquia is a region nestled between the eastern and central ranges of the Andes Mountains. This creates an ideal microclimate for coffee cultivation. Abundant water, nutrient-rich soil, and stable warmth ensure a slow maturation of the coffee cherries – resulting in a rich and nuanced cup.

Filter: We recommend you to use a scale and a brewing technique you are familiar with to ensure consistent results while brewing our coffee. Using a digital scale while measuring both coffee beans and water for brewing will greatly increase consistency. We brew with 50-60 g of coffee per litre (1000 g) water.

Dose: 16 g
Water: 250 g, 98°C
Bloom: 45 g, 98°C for 45 seconds

Brew time: 2:50 - 3:30 minutes

Espresso: We recommend you to use a VST filter basket when brewing espresso with our coffee. These baskets make it a lot easier to brew the espresso and each basket is very close to identical, which helps increase consistency. With the VST filter basket 18 g, try this recipe.

Freshness is of utmost importance to us, and to minimise food waste, we roast our coffee every Tuesday. This means you can expect your coffee to be shipped the following Wednesday. By roasting in small batches, we ensure that we don’t produce more coffee than needed, preventing it from going stale on the shelf. This way, you receive freshly roasted coffee right to your door.
