Why Brewing Special Reserve Coffee?

What Makes Special Reserve Coffee Different?

While our Limited Release coffees explore fun and funky experimental fermentations, our Special Reserve micro-lots focus entirely on the pure expression of the coffee varietal and the farm's unique terroir. These are the coffees where legendary producers let the pristine growing conditions do all the talking. You won't find crazy, loud fermentations here; instead, expect perfectly executed traditional processing that results in an incredibly clean, balanced, and elegant brew.

Honouring Terroir Through Clean Processing

To showcase the delicate floral and crisp fruit notes of premium varietals like the Geisha, producers rely on highly controlled, traditional processing methods. By maintaining strict protocols during the washing or natural drying phases, the farmers ensure the coffee’s inherent characteristics shine through.

Why are these coffees only available in small batches?

Special Reserve coffees are sourced from exclusive micro-lots, meaning they are harvested from very specific, small sections of a farm over a short period. Because of the intense care, high altitude, and strict quality control required by producers like Kotowa Coffee Farms or Hacienda La Esmeralda, the annual yield is incredibly small, making these tasty lots highly limited.

Special Reserve Coffee - Exclusive Micro-Lots FAQs

Our Limited Release coffees feature fun, experimental processing methods (like anaerobic fermentation) that create wild, funky flavour profiles. In contrast, our Special Reserve collection focuses on world-renowned producers and premium varietals (like Geishas), using extremely clean, traditional processing to highlight the pure terroir and delicate clarity of the coffee.

For these light, filter-roasted micro-lots, we recommend resting the beans for 10 to 14 days after the roast date before brewing. This degassing time allows the carbon dioxide trapped inside the beans to naturally escape, which ensures the cleanest possible flavour clarity.

To get the most out of a delicate Geisha, we highly recommend a paper filter method like a V60, but your recipe should adapt to the processing method. For a Washed Geisha, use a 1:16 ratio with 96°C water and a 2:45 brew time to highlight crisp, tea-like florals. For a Natural Geisha, tighten the ratio to 1:15 with 95°C water and aim for a 2:30 minute brew time. These starting points will set you up for a seriously tasty cup.
