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

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: Los Rosales

Region / Area: Buesaco & Cosaca

Altitude: 1700–2100 MASL

Harvest Period: April – July 2025

Sourcing Partner: Caravella

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.

Colombia | Los Rosales | Caturra Washed AAA - When is peak flavour?

Medium Roast - Roasted on Roest P3000

Los Rosales is a beautiful washed Colombian coffee from the high mountains of Nariño, grown by small family producers around Buesaco and Consacá. These farms sit at 1700 to 2100 metres above sea level, where warm days and cool nights slow the ripening of the coffee cherries, helping develop sweetness, clarity and complexity in the cup.

The name Los Rosales is inspired by the roses grown throughout the farms in this region, a fitting name for a coffee known for its elegant florals and refined sweetness. Most of the contributing producers are second and third-generation farmers, working small farms of around 1 to 5 hectares, with each family member playing a role in picking, processing and drying the coffee.

This Caturra lot is carefully hand-picked for ripe cherries, then washed and fermented for around 20 to 25 hours before being fully sun-dried on cement patios. The result is a clean, structured and expressive Colombian coffee with a sweet, bright profile and a polished finish.

A lovely choice for filter brewing, batch brew and lighter espresso, especially if you enjoy clean washed coffees with sweetness, florals and a crisp high-altitude character.
