This coffee’s roasted in our filter style — meaning it’s designed to shine as black coffee rather than with milk. That doesn’t mean you have to brew it as a pour-over though. You can make it however you like — espresso, moka pot, AeroPress or anything in between. We simply roast it a little lighter to highlight the bean’s origin flavours giving you a cup that’s clean, vibrant and full of clarity.

Lighter roasting keeps more of the natural acidity and sweetness intact which makes for a beautifully expressive black coffee. This coffee is best enjoyed without milk as it’s too acidic and the flavours don’t pair well once milk is added.

If you prefer your milk coffee with richer caramel, toffee or nutty flavours you might enjoy our espresso range more. Those roasts are taken a little darker to bring out deeper sweetness and balance beautifully with milk.

Origin and Sourcing

Varietal: Pacamara

?

Pacamara is a hybrid of Pacas (a Bourbon mutation) and Maragogipe (a Typica mutation), developed in El Salvador. It’s famous for its giant beans and potential for an explosive, layered flavor profile, including floral, tropical, and spicy notes. However, its quality can be inconsistent and highly dependent on terroir and processing.

Processing Method: Washed

?

In the washed process, coffee cherries are depulped to remove the skin and pulp, then fermented to eliminate the mucilage before thorough washing. This method produces a clean, bright cup with pronounced acidity and clarity, highlighting the coffee’s intrinsic flavors. It’s widely used in regions with ample water resources, such as Colombia and East Africa.

Producer: Felipe Guarachi Tola

Farm: Finca Chuquiago

Roast Details

Roast Style: Filter

?

Filter roasts are lighter with a shorter development time, designed to highlight clarity, acidity, and fruit-driven complexity — perfect for black coffee and filter methods. These roasts can also be used for espresso, especially if you enjoy brighter, more vibrant shots. Try longer brew ratios or turbo shots to tame acidity and bring out sweetness. Espresso roasts, on the other hand, are developed further to encourage deeper caramelization and Maillard reactions, producing richer, chocolatey, and nutty flavours that shine in milk and offer a fuller-bodied espresso. We don't usually roast omni (one roast for all brew methods) — in our experience, it tends to be a compromise that's average at both. But occasionally, for larger lots or versatile blends, we may do an omni roast to suit both black and milk drinkers.

Roasted On Machine: Roest P3000

?

The ROEST P3000 is a compact powerhouse that redefines what’s possible in small-batch production roasting. With the ability to roast 1–3 kg batches in under 7 minutes and crank out over 25 kg per hour, it delivers serious output without demanding a full-time operator. Automation handles everything from preheating to cooldown, with between-batch protocols ensuring consistent conditions roast after roast. Its slim footprint and lightweight build make it perfect for roasteries where space is tight but precision and efficiency are non-negotiable. What truly sets the P3000 apart is its unmatched control and data richness. It features more than 18 sensors—bean, exhaust, drum, humidity, pressure, and even a first-crack microphone—paired with PID-controlled airflow, drum speed, and temperature. A built-in bean camera offers live visual feedback, eliminating the need for a trier and paving the way for future AI enhancements. Whether you’re dialing in new coffees or replicating profiles at scale, the P3000 brings the lab-level accuracy of the ROEST sample roaster into full production—effortlessly and repeatably.

Taste Profile

Tasting Notes: Dried plum, cola, cooked red grape and mild peanut butter flavours with complex acidity and syrupy sweetness.

Suitable with Milk? No

?

Some of our light roasted filter coffees are bursting with bright, fruity acidity — think citrus, berries, or tropical notes. While these flavours shine on their own, they don't always play well with milk. The acidity can clash with milk's natural sweetness and creaminess, sometimes creating sour or chalky flavours.

Decaffeinated? No

Bolivia | Finca Chuquiago | Felipe Guarachi Tola | Pacamara Washed - When is peak flavour?

Medium Roast - Roasted on Roest P3000

Felipe Guarachi Tola

Finca Chuquiago, owned by Felipe Guarachi Tola, sits at approximately 1,550 metres in Bolivia's renowned La Paz region, where fertile soils and a favourable climate are ideal for specialty coffee. The farm's name derives from "Chuquiago Marka", the indigenous Aymara name for the area that is now La Paz - a reflection of the farm's deep connection to the region's cultural heritage.

La Paz

Bolivia's best-known coffee department, bordering Peru in the country's north-west, known for extreme Andean terrain and rich water sources.

About the Pacamara Variety

Pacamara is El Salvador's famous giant: a 1958 cross between Pacas (a compact Bourbon mutation) and Maragogipe (the huge-beaned Typica mutation). The result is one of coffee's largest beans and one of its most distinctive cup profiles.

Roasters prize Pacamara for drama - layered acidity, unusual savoury-sweet complexity, and flavours that swing from stone fruit and cola to herbal and chocolate depending on terroir and processing. It is a fixture of Cup of Excellence winning lots across Central America.

Felipe Guarachi Tola's washed lot from 1,550 metres in La Paz leans into that complexity: dried plum, cola and cooked red grape with a mild peanut-butter richness, syrupy sweetness and layered acidity.
