What's the ideal resting time before brewing our coffees?

When coffee is fresh out of the roasting process, the CO2 retention is at the highest point it could possibly be at. Within the first 4 - 7 days, coffee releases 90% CO2 and 10% nitrogen from the roasting process, making 7 - 14 days off roast the peak consumption time for filter coffee.Espresso is slightly more forgiving and can still extract incredible flavors up until 6 weeks from the initial roast date.

Do you offer pre-ground for espresso?

We don’t offer pre-ground espresso because every machine is different. It is never a "one size- fits all".For the best results, we recommend grinding fresh to match your setup.

The Legacy of La Christalina:

Part of the Valdés family's coffee empire, which includes the Paraná and San Pablo farms, La Cristalina is home to 142,000 coffee trees, each carefully nurtured to thrive in its unique environment. Every year, the farm is thoughtfully replanted to balance tradition with forward-thinking practices. This is not just coffee; it’s a legacy of stewardship.

La Cristalina's natural processing begins with an 18-hour fermentation, followed by 20 days of slow, controlled drying. In Colombia’s humid climate, this is no small feat. The farm employs a custom-designed oven that gently circulates warm air around the cherries, never exceeding 35°C. This meticulous process locks in the beans' natural sweetness and complexity, allowing vibrant, fruity flavors to shine through.

Brewing Advice:

Place the sachet securely over your cup.
Slowly pour 225g (8oz) of hot water.
If you’re without a scale, simply fill to the top line of the filter four times, a traveler’s measure that ensures consistency wherever you are.

Each sachet contains 12.7g (0.44oz) of coffee, designed for a balanced 8oz cup.
