01 / Yellow Gesha, Panama

The idea begins
with two approaches.

This idea starts with Ninety Plus’s Criolic Folio processing and XLIII’s extremely light roasting. The attraction is the chance to explore both through one edition.

At Gesha Estates, Ninety Plus has been returning former cattle land to forest since 2009. Gesha grows beneath native trees; the care begins long before the coffee reaches a roaster.

Cold fermentation. More of the plant.

In its Criolic method, Ninety Plus uses low temperatures to slow fermentation. Folio adds other parts of the coffee plant, including leaves and flowers. That is the producer’s work; the proposed edition would be roasted by XLIII.

03 / The proposed edition

From their work
to your brewing table.

XLIII and Ninety Plus have worked together since 2022. That existing relationship matters here: the grower and roaster already understand one another’s work.

The proposed edition would connect that work to this community: clear provenance, a considered presentation and practical brewing starting points. The aim is to make the people and choices behind the coffee easier to understand.

Brewing instructions

Filter / General XLIII method

15 g coffee · 250 g water · approximately 100°C

Rinse the filter and add freshly ground coffee. Pour five times, 50 g each, starting every 30 seconds. Let the drawdown finish, then allow the cup to cool for about five minutes.

A starting point: adjust the grind and follow the cup.

Espresso / Daniel’s starting point

18.5 g coffee · 50 g in the cup · 14–18 seconds

90°C water, maximum 110 ppm. Three seconds of preinfusion. Pressure peaks at 6 bar, then declines to 4 bar at the finish.

Keep sealed, cool and dry, away from sunlight and strong odours.
