Here comes one of your and our favorites from last year. Unfortunately, last year ended earlier than planned due to availability, this time we went a different way.
During his trip to Colombia this summer 2022, Philip was actively looking for farmers and producers who should and want to accompany us in 2023 and beyond. As it is difficult for some farmers to produce larger quantities of a coffee of a certain quality, it can be a good idea to have a local dry mill put together a blend.
No sooner said than done, since Philip explored the origins with Caravela in Colombia, it made sense to work with this certified B Corp to create a regional, reproducible and, above all, tasty blend. The result is our own Planadas - a full-bodied blend of 4 varieties, all grown by farmers in the shadow of Mount Nevado del Huila and the adjacent Ata River. Here, the soil is rich in volcanic minerals, the microclimate is extremely suitable for coffee, and the farmers have an unparalleled passion for coffee that makes them shine when it comes to coffee, despite the hard work and current adversity.
Suitable for all types of filters. For the V60 we recommend 18 grams of coffee in 300 grams of water , a longer blooming phase and increments of 60 grams within 1:45 minutes .
We also have this coffee as an espresso in our range.
