In the recently announced GFA (Good Food Award), La Esperanza Estate became the only award-winning estate from regions outside Ethiopia, Kenya, and Panama.

FrontStreet Coffee Roasting Recommendations:

For this Bourbon variety coffee bean, we recommend a medium heat dehydration period during roasting. Using standard roasting method, set the air damper to 20% when beans are loaded. Increase heat at the browning point to enhance aroma while opening the air damper to 50%. Set the air damper to 80% at first crack, with heat adjustable based on ROR conditions by approximately 5%. We recommend roasting to the end of first crack for a medium-light roast level.
