Coffee Overview

This naturally processed lot comes from Finca La Joya, a four-hectare farm in El Convento, within Nariño’s Chachagüi municipality. Jeremy Pedraza is a third-generation coffee producer and agronomist, continuing his family’s dedication to high-elevation coffee cultivation at 2,000 meters above sea level.

Nariño, where Colombia’s three Andean mountain ranges converge, offers ideal altitudes and fertile soils for high-grown Arabica production. Despite a challenging history shaped by its proximity to coastal and land borders, the region has become a respected nucleus of coffee innovation, driven by the resilience and determination of its smallholder producers.

Farm / Processing

Finca La Joya is planted primarily with Typica, Variedad Colombia, Castillo, and Pink Bourbon. For this lot, a blend of Caturra, Castillo, and Colombia varieties was used.

Processing begins with selectively harvesting only ripe cherries, which are first sorted by flotation and then manually sorted. The cherries are placed into sealed bags with a starter culture from Jeremy’s other processes and fermented anaerobically for five days.

After fermentation, the cherries are dried on raised beds for 10 days, followed by an additional two days in a mechanical dryer. This careful combination of controlled fermentation and extended drying highlights the distinctive character of this high-altitude Nariño coffee.

Grind Info

Whole Bean
Just beans. Suitable for grinding at home to match your preferred brewing method and equipment.

Fine Espresso
Ground finer for commercial espresso machines that use higher pressure, larger baskets, and more consistent extraction systems.
Examples: La Marzocco, Victoria Arduino, ECM, Rocket

Home Espresso Grind
Ground slightly coarser to suit domestic espresso and bean-to-cup machines, which typically operate at lower pressure and flow rates.
Examples: De'Longhi, Sage, Philips, supermarket espresso machines.

Stove Top Grind
Slightly coarser than espresso, designed for moka pots and stove top brewers where pressure is lower than traditional espresso machines.
Examples: Bialetti and other stove top brewers.

AeroPress Grind
Medium-fine grind optimised for AeroPress.

Filter Grind
Medium grind designed for slower extraction methods that rely on gravity rather than pressure. Best suited for filter coffee brewers and drip machines.
Examples: Moccamaster, Melitta, V60 and batch brew systems.
