About coffee

John Hurtado grew up on a family coffee farm. While his family took care of the farm, John decided to move to the United States to explore new opportunities in life and business. At that time, coffee took a back seat in his life. Thirty years later, he decided to return to his homeland and take over the family farm, transforming it into what it is today. He revamped and improved the Mahusa farm, not only focusing on standard commodity coffees but also on exotic varieties. Through many mistakes and successes, he managed to refine the coffee processing methods. One of his greatest achievements in coffee cultivation was the diversification of crops, which allowed him to see how he could help his pickers and elevate not only his farm but also the neighboring coffee growers. The coffee produced there is exceptional, which was one of the main reasons John decided to return to being a coffee farmer. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it is grown with love and passion, while also respecting the native fauna and flora, which contribute to soil regeneration and other critical processes on the farm. The farm is situated at an average altitude of 1,700–1,900 meters above sea level and is surrounded by three water springs and two native forests. Another remarkable and successful initiative on the farm was teaching the pickers to “talk” to the coffee plants, care for them, and respect them. John’s wife, a gardening enthusiast, learned from her mother that when you talk to plants, they listen. To ensure that the pickers understand the significance of their work and treat it with respect, coffee is roasted and consumed daily on the farm, and the pickers are also given coffee to take home.

About process

Hand-picked coffee cherries are carefully selected and washed after harvest to remove any impurities. They are then placed into stainless steel tanks for a 24-hour fermentation process. After this period, the cherries are removed, mixed, and placed back into the tanks. This process is repeated 3 to 5 times, depending on the temperature and the desired level of fermentation. Once fermentation is complete, the coffee is dried under the sun, with the drying beds covered in the afternoon until the next day to ensure a stable drying process. The total drying time takes 8 to 12 days.

How to understand the grid on packaging?

We wanted to make it as easy as possible for you to choose your coffee, so we worked with the guys from Steezy Graphic Studio to come up with a “grid” – a simple grid where you can easily find the characteristics of each coffee.
The red dot next to the description of each coffee is placed exactly there, so that you can easily imagine how the coffee will taste.

Citrus – chocolate
Here we’d like to give you an idea of how fruity the coffee will be. There’s a long way from citrus to chocolate, so imagine more in between:
citrus, berries, green apples, red apples, stone fruits, dried fruits, nuts, milk chocolate and dark chocolate 😉

Mild – wild
What is mild coffee? We’d say it’s unpretentious. A coffee that you can just have every morning and not have to think too much about it. It’s just good.
The higher the dot, the more excitement you can expect in the taste of coffee. The more surprising and fun it can be. These coffees are fruity, fun, interesting and make you think about what it is that you actually enjoy about them so much.
