Roast Style: Classic

These will be fuller bodied coffees that exhibit more obvious roast-centric flavours, like caramelised sugar.

While bitterness has its place in every coffee, there is enough of that in each raw coffee without us ever feeling it is necessary to add more of that through the roast process. For this reason, even our darkest roasts are still very moderate medium roasts, relative to the full spectrum of coffee roasts available in the market today.

Our classic coffees will make great espresso-based beverages, and they're a good option for french press and moka-pot brewing, especially if you like your coffee with milk.

Roaster's Notes

Named “The Pearl” in Spanish, La Perla Collective captures the kind of beauty that emerges slowly: refined, comforting, and effortlessly approachable. This coffee opens with notes of soft yellow fruit and mild floral hints. We start with a moderate charge temperature and aim for a longer roast time to encourage even internal development - especially important given the varieties included in this collective lot’s higher density and larger size. A restrained post-crack development where we strive to maximise sweetness and preserve cup clarity, allows its citrus vibrancy and tea-like finish to shine.
