Version 14 is a banger - 25% Rwanda FW, 25% Peru AW, 50% Brazil Nat. Medium to Heavy Roaster influence - solid milk espresso choice but great across all purposes.
Roasted to produce a solid “house espresso”, with distinct chocolate and darker fruit notes, an all-rounder suitable for milk, alt-milk and black coffees. Coffees seasonally sourced to ensure consistent core flavours year round.
A continuation of Osito's first regional blend from the Cerrado Minero region. Real classic Brazil blender vibes - milk choc fruit & nut bar.
Joining the fray - honestly, Chacra is spoiling us all silly on this lot - an anoxic washed Caturra, fresh crop, outrageously good, from a 2420 MASL farm (!!) we had the volume to commit to take the lot in one which made it affordable for Facility. One of the very first Peruvian coffees we bought was a regional blender built by Simon, and while this is heaps better it's nice to bring our sourcing relationship full circle.
Maintaining its spot in the blend - but swapping to the FW version, with a more developed larger batch profile to the house filter iteration - fresh crop Gito from Raw Material/Muraho trading company. This project takes the output from all the Muraho stations during the milling process, taking small-screen size beans and separating them out into a regional lot. These beans previously would have not been sorted to an export grade level and sold internally - despite being just as good as the larger screen size lots! They are mostly peaberries and when export sorted (density/colour) incredibly good quality.
We're returning to a run of Burundi and Rwanda again for the winter to spring season. There is no two ways about it - by engaging with meaningful purchase volumes from these countries, you will hit the odd potato. Running a higher ratio of Brazil will reduce it, and all the partners we purchase from have excellent sorting that reduce the incidence further. We recommend discarding any you find and giving a little extra purge, they should be very infrequent; using a tupperware to hold the discard grounds instead of an open knock box can be a useful trick.
We're tasting: Super sweet - we're getting milk chocolate, stewed apples and plums, with a syrupy body with a long toffee & baking spice finish
In milk: Apple pie & golden syrup

About beans:
Quality and consistency. It’s not easy when you’re a farmer, with changing weather and different circumstances on a yearly or even seasonal basis, to match the same flavor profile as last year. It might even be impossible. For this reason, the team of Q-graders of Capricornio Coffees cups all the coffees of the more than a dozen partner fazendas and farmer groups, grades them according to their flavor and quality, and then makes farmer blends, solely based on taste. Since 2022, Capricornio Coffees designed a program to achieve the flavour stability we seek while only sourcing from the same partners year on year in their trusted network: São Jerónimo da Serra, Mulheres do Café Matão, Fazenda Fronteira, and Fazenda California. For example, the Dulce Signature blend is described as dark chocolate, with a sweet and round thick body. One year, this might consist of more coffee from Fazenda California and less from São Jerónimo da Serra. The year after, this might be the other way around.
Farm composition in the coffee bag might change, but the farms don’t sit still either. Being part of Capricornio’s 4 Seasons Project, they get free agronomical support, with an agronomist visiting them every 60 days. Together, they look at plant and soil health and do soil measurements, which are used to advise on which parts of the farms need extra attention. It’s high-end knowledge and a solid partnership to provide a sustainable future.
The cup profile gives us everything we want in a good Brazilian coffee: good body and sweetness, mild acidity, and heavy chocolate and nutty flavours without any fruit notes. A true crowd pleaser.

About beans:
Traditionally, Mae Chedi was known primarily for its tea plantations, which were the main source of income for many farmers. While coffee has always been present in the region, it has always been secondary to tea. Today, with the rising demand for Thai specialty coffee, a new generation of farmers is embracing coffee cultivation with a dedication that has set the nation apart as one of the fastest-developing coffee-producing countries.
This year, we have the washed lot from Mae Chedi. One of only a few groups in Thailand to employ a Kenya-style washed, double-fermentation: all coffee is hand-picked, depulped, dry-fermented for 48 hours, wet-fermented for 8 hours, washed with mountain water, then sun-dried on raised bamboo beds. The result is a very clean coffee with typical ‘Asian’ spicy flavors, but combined with a sweetness not often found in other Asian coffees.
