El Flaco Grande - Medium Roast (Whole Bean)
Origin, variety, process and cupping score for this exact lot are listed on this page.
Known for its Yellow Honey process, the beans of El Flaco Grande are hand-picked at high altitude and pulped until they are left with a layer of sticky golden mucilage to dry in the sun. Fermentation runs 168 hours in total — 96 in cherry, 72 in mucilage — using roughly 39 litres less water per kilo than a washed process. The result is a cup that's naturally sweet and complex, with notes of honey, caramel, and stone fruit.

Start at roughly 60g of coffee per litre of water (about 2 tablespoons per 6oz cup) and adjust to taste.
Water just off the boil, 195-205F. Grind coarse for French press and cold brew, medium for drip and pour-over, fine for espresso.
Store the bag sealed at room temperature, away from light. Grind just before brewing where you can.
Truly delicious coffee! Just got it in the mail the other and have been drinking it twice a day. You can taste all the different notes and nuances, unlike other coffee that's been sitting on shelves for months. This is going to be my new go to. I also have a pack of the OG that I can't wait to open, but it's gonna sit in my freezer until I finish this bag of El Flaco.
