NO Cafe No Trabajo (No Coffee / No Work) Tee - TriBlend

From the origin of The Boy & The Bear – Coffee Roastery, our company has always stood for the genuine and transparent approach when it comes to the process of our coffees. The coffee process from crop to cup, reassuring we serve nothing but the best. Also sharing our personal culture to the community. 

Colombian born and raised, Andres Piñeros; founder of The Boy & The Bear is certain that Colombia has a variety of exotic coffees coming from his hometown. A whole world of coffee experiences, profiles and exotic flavors yet to be discovered and showcased to our customers here in California. We take great efforts in reassuring that we are constantly exploring the depths of Colombia for the next great cup of coffee. The fact that Andres roots are in Colombia, most of our coffees are purchased through well known farmers from his childhood, it makes the coffee purchasing experience that much more tangible, transparent and real. 

The Boy & The Bear is not only about our Colombian coffees, there's more to it than just the speciality Colombian coffees. It’s all about the whole Colombian coffee experience, it's about our Colombian culture, our people, the music and everything that represents the positive and liveliness side of our country. 

“The Boy & The Bear – Coffee Roastery is a magical surrealism of the Colombian coffee experience and its culture behind it” Andres Piñeros – Founder of TB&TB.

We have always been intrigued in the pairings of espresso profiles and what different roasting approaches can bring to every new cup of coffee served at our cafés. With this motive and curiosity in mind, we came up with two different kinds of espressos on our menu: 

The Classic Espresso: 

With the classic espresso our intention is to amplify the sweeter, creaminess and darker notes in the coffee cup with a conservative approach. It’s TB&TB interpretation to a traditional classic bold espresso shot. 

The Modern Espresso:

Is an ongoing process of experimentation of the new exotic flavors. For modern espresso, we always use exclusive and exotic coffee beans with unique characteristics. The Natural Processed coffees are our favorite types of coffees to serve as Modern Espresso. Naturals on bar tend to have fruity, complex and well rounded flavor notes in the cup, which also pairs very well with the milks we offer in our cafes.

Pour-Over: 

We strongly believe that our Colombian coffees have their own character and personality traits that are able to speak all on it’s own through every cup experience. At TB&TB we encourage our customers to brew their coffee the way they want. After all, the best cup of coffee is the one YOU like, based on your personal preference. 

Our suggested ratio for Pour-Over coffees is: 13gr of water per every 1gr of specialty Colombian coffee and the standard recipe at our cafés is:

- Coffee: 30g

- Water: 390g at 201F / 93.8C

- Brewing time should be around 3:30-5:00 minutes 

When it’s time to brew, use this as a guide to help you brew a great quality cup of our Colombian coffees at home. 

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The consistency and the size of the grind play an important role in the final results of your brewed cup.

Please experiment and see what the best approach is for our personal brewing methods.

We have knowledgeable baristas working at each location, feel free to ask questions next time you are in.

Espresso: 

Dialing / brewing espressos is always an ongoing process during the day while our team at our stores are in the constant pursuit of the great espresso shot. We rather want to keep it simple in order to get to an accurate and efficient result. 

There are four variables that we use daily at our cafes behind our espresso machine. This is a quick look on our espresso guidelines and a great starting point for your espressos 

- Dose: 16g of espresso in (on an 18gram portafilter basket)

- First Drop: 10 seconds with a 4 seconds pre-infusion time/pause - Time: 36 to 42 seconds

- Yield: 32g to 38g of espresso out 

All coffees to be used on espresso have the following resting period: - Classic Espresso: At least 13 days from roasting date.

- Modern Espresso: At Least 25 days from roasting date.

For espresso our Colombian coffees need at least 13 days of rest after roasting day for an exceptional coffee experience. These coffees will reach their peak point on flavor and consistency at 25 days. 

For Pour-Overs and home coffee brewers we suggest start brewing our coffees between 4 days from roasting date up until 25 days. All characteristics of the coffees are finally merged, the layers of flavors open up and are easier to understand while drinking.
