Volume 06: Good Work
Diego Robelo/ Aquiares Estate/ Natural
Available nowWhere the Red Honey is precise, this one is patient. The whole cherry dries intact, the fruit working slowly around the seed over weeks. Fuller, a little wilder, and the strongest case yet for why what happens after harvest matters as much as anything in the field.
Roasted in small batches. Like this one? The Club sends two new coffees every month.

A new story each month
Each Volume pairs two farms around one idea, with a playlist to go with it. It's a small ritual that changes every month.
Step 1
Grind just before you brew, medium-fine for pour-over.
Step 2
Use about 1 gram of coffee to 16 grams of water. 22 g to 350 g is a good cup.
Step 3
Water just off the boil. Pour slowly and evenly, about three minutes total.
Step 4
Let it cool a little. The fruit notes open up as it does.

How to Brew
The Farm
For a Natural process, the coffee dries inside the whole fruit, sometimes for weeks, as it slowly loses moisture. That extra time allows sugars and acids to move into the coffee, pushing the fruit forward and giving the cup more presence.
This is where Diego's investment in post-harvest processing shows.
The cherries have to be spread carefully, turned consistently, and monitored throughout or the flavors go sideways fast.
At a farm the size of Aquiares, doing this well is no small thing.
When it's done right, the result is fuller and more expressive. The fruit reads louder, the body is heavier, and the finish carries more weight.
