Introducing the Red Sun Tasting Set — three Gesha coffees from Panama and Ethiopia that each capture a unique expression of terroir, craft, and character. From the steep slopes of Hacienda La Esmeralda’s Jaramillo farm to the biodiverse ridges of Finca Santa Teresa and the wild forest edge of Gesha Village, this set is a journey through some of the world’s most remarkable coffee origins.

A good coffee captures a flavor, a great coffee captures a place. The rarest coffees capture a moment.

Red Sun is our invitation to explore excellence — one cup at a time.

The Villa Betulia Sidra dialed really quickly for us. We found the best dial to be a grind size around neutral combined with a 21g dose to produce a TDS of 1.45% and extraction of 20.5%. In general, I’m noticing that Sidra varieties taste great with a 21g dose. The higher dose amplifies the fruity and candy notes. This coffee tastes like candy when dialed well and should have a long, sweet, juicy aftertaste.

This coffee brews fast and extracts easily. We’ve found coffees that push the limits of fermentation are more soluble, leading to faster brew times and quick extractions. To slow the brew time and bring out the vibrant acidity and syrupy body of this coffee I recommend using 21g of coffee.  A well extracted brew should have an intense, lingering sweetness with dynamic flavors like passionfruit, dark chocolate, strawberry liqueur, and florals.
