01 / Yellow Gesha, Panama

The choices
that drew me here.

With this idea, I’m following two choices that interest me: Ninety Plus’s Criolic Folio processing, and XLIII’s extremely light roasting.

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.

Criolic Folio, as described by Ninety Plus

Often citrusy. Floral.
Light to medium body.

A guide to the processing style; the proposed edition’s tasting notes are still open.

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 / What I hope to bring

Where I come in.

XLIII and Ninety Plus have worked together since 2022. I’m interested in that continuity: the grower and the roaster already know one another’s work.

My part would be to shape an edition I can introduce personally: the presentation, the story and a practical starting point for brewing. I want you to know whose work you’re tasting.

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.
