Please note: Pre-ground coffee beans can quickly lose their freshness, resulting in a notable decrease in aroma and flavor. For this reason, we don’t recommend a grinding service. We strongly encourage our customers to grind their coffee beans just before use for the best experience.
Colombia Finca La Ermita Narino

Origin Story
The word “Ermita” derives from the Latin “eremita” which means “people who live alone.” The name is apt, as the twenty-eight smallholder farmers represented in this lot farm an average of 1-3 hectares apiece in quite remote areas of San Lorenzo, La Unión and Grove municipalities in the Nariño department. Most grow the Caturra variety, and the elevations ranges from 1800 to 2200 masl. After handpicking, the coffee undergoes a traditional washing process, with fermentation in tanks lasting 60-70 hours followed by sun-drying on patios.

How to Brew
We recommend starting with a 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio, which provides an excellent total extraction level and maximizes flavor pulled out of the ground coffee. For our single origin coffees we recommend a pour over method either on a Chemex, V60 or Kalita Wave.
