FRESH CROP
Wilton Benitez possesses a wealth of knowledge and expertise as a highly specialized coffee producer, having dedicated his lifetime to cultivating exceptional and highly sought-after coffee varieties.

Driven by a deep curiosity, Wilton delved into the world of fermentation technology, studying its applications in diverse industries such as wine, beer, and cheese production. Through this exploration, he gained valuable insights into the intricate processes behind these products. With this newfound understanding, Wilton began meticulously controlling specific variables in the coffee processing, including sugar content, pH levels, and fermentation duration.

At El Girasol, coffee production is a meticulous process. Only fully ripe cherries are selectively harvested and taken to the on-site processing station. Fermentation begins with 36 hours of oxidation in fermentation tanks. The coffee is then rinsed, washed, and depulped before undergoing a second fermentation for 14 to 16 hours. After a final wash, the beans are spread out on patios to dry.

The farm sits at 1,750m above sea level, where coffee grows alongside bananas, citrus, avocados, and native trees, creating a balanced agroforestry system. Robinson, a third-generation coffee producer, has managed El Girasol for the past 10 years, shifting the focus from traditional washed coffee to more controlled and standardized processing methods. His aim is to refine production, build stable business relationships, and achieve financial sustainability through high-quality coffee.

FORM vs FUNCTION vs LESS WASTE

We love good packaging design, but not waste. That’s why we aim for a balance between aesthetics and sustainability. Finding food-safe solutions that work across local and international recycling systems isn’t easy, but we take it seriously. For us, reuse, reduce, recycle is more than just a label.

When ordering coffee, you can choose from three packaging types:

A.M.O.C. JAR

Made from fully recyclable PET. Lightweight, durable, and made to be reused endlessly.

REFILL

A low-waste option, vacuum-packed in thin, food-grade PP without a valve or zipper. About 40% lighter than standard bags and easier to recycle. These are not retail-friendly and may lose vacuum in transit—this doesn’t affect quality. Transfer to a container after opening. Not freezer-safe unless portioned first.

KILO BAG

For larger orders, we use high-barrier packaging that protects freshness and is recyclable under certain conditions. We chose it for both performance and environmental impact.

You’ll find more on our packaging choices and sustainability approach on the about page.

ESPRESSO VS FILTER ROAST

Our filter roasts are designed for clarity and expression, but they’re great for both filter and espresso brewing. In fact, we often prefer the brighter, more expressive profile they bring to espresso.

Espresso roasts, on the other hand, are specifically developed for espresso brewing only. We don’t recommend using them for filter methods, as they’re tailored for higher extraction and a more classic cup profile.

Choose based on your taste and brew method, but know we stand behind both.

ROAST DATE

All our coffees are shipped as fresh as possible, typically within a few days of roasting. We don’t sit on a lot of stock and roast multiple times a week, so what you receive has been roasted recently, usually no longer than a 7-10 days before shipping, but it could also be roasted and shipped the same day.

You’ll find the exact roast date printed on the label. We recommend resting the coffee for a few days after roasting to allow it to degas and open up in flavour.

These pair well with your taste
