Flavor Profile:
Clean, crisp and complex. Everything you want in a washed Bourbon. A sugary sweetness like brown sugar is followed by a malic, applelike acidity. Comforting and warm flavors round out the cup with a milk chocolate creaminess.
About This Partnership
In March 2023, Siri Simran — founder and roaster of Color Magic — traveled to Honduras to source coffees and forge new relationships. During that journey, she spent a day with Jorge Misael Ochoa, a dedicated producer whose farm in the Santa Barbara Mountains is nothing short of breathtaking.
When asked what he’d like people to know about his work, Misael shared that he approaches every step of the process with deep care and pride. He is constantly refining his craft, always striving to do his best. His unwavering commitment to quality is evident in every sip of his coffee.
Since that visit, Siri has continued to buy coffee from Misael each year and is proud to call him a partner. His dedication to sustainable farming shows up in the thoughtful choices he makes on his farm:
Working to implement composting practices, despite being a relatively new farm.
Using organic fungicides, even without official organic certification.
Crafting his own fertilizers tailored to his land and amending the soil with natural lime rock native to the region.
Protecting a large portion of his land by designating it as conservation space, preserving native ecosystems and deterring deforestation and poaching.
Preserving native shade trees that serve as vital habitat for local birds.
About the Washed Process:
Once ripe cherries have been picked they are depulped and undergo a 14hr fermentation in tiled tanks. From there they are fully washed and dried for 12-15 days. This method of processing highlights the Bourbon variety
ROASTED IN OCEANSIDE · GROUND HOW YOU LIKE IT · SHIPPED THE WEEK YOU ORDER ·
We do not buy lots off a list. Siri travels to origin, sits with the producers, and keeps going back season after season. Five years with the same farm is not a slogan, it is a working relationship where both sides can plan.
That is why this coffee tastes the way it did last year, only better.
However you already make coffee is fine. If you want to get more out of the bag, start here.
Medium grind, water just off the boil, roughly sixty grams of coffee to a litre. Sweeter and more layered.
Fine grind, eighteen in and about thirty six out over thirty seconds. Adjust from there to taste.
Drip machine, French press, milk, oat, ice. There is no wrong way to drink your own coffee.
Two easy ways in. Neither of them requires you to already know what you like.
Sit at the bar and try five to ten side by side. Thirty five dollars, and you pick as you go.
A gift card lets them pick their own bag from whatever is on the bar that week, and it works on anything in the shop.
