Merci Fernandez

This is a crisp, clean and sweet washed bourbon from Merci Fernandez's farm, La Pomarossa, in Colasay, Peru.

It reminds us of raspberry iced tea, pink guava and sweet lemon. 

Merci Fernandez is a young farmer that is getting her name out for producing some delicious and highly sought after coffees on her small farm working with Origin Coffee Lab. We had the pleasure of meeting at the SCA expo in Chicago as she was there at the Apex Coffee Imports booth, from whom we purchased her coffee!  We were lucky to pick up a small amount of this year's bourbon from our friends at Apex, and it's a real treat!

We really enjoyed the versatility of this coffee across different brew recipes. It seems to give something slightly different when you change any parameter. Which is why we chose to use this coffee for the Canadian Aeropress Championships regional stage that we hosted in Revelstoke over the summer.

Brew method:

We roast this coffee light and it is best enjoyed as a filter.

We recommend using a 16:1 water to coffee ratio (for example when using 20 grams of coffee, brew with 320ml of water) and a medium coarse grind.
