Esmeralda Palmyra Catuai Coffee Bean Flavor Profile and Brewing Guide

In addition to the renowned Geisha coffee, Hacienda La Esmeralda, known for its commitment to sustainability, quality, and innovation, offers other exceptional coffees waiting to be discovered. Last time, we introduced the Diamond Mountain Series Catimor coffee beans, and today we continue to present Palmyra Estate Coffee to everyone.

Palmyra Estate Coffee is a Catuai coffee variety, often chosen by customers for its consistency and approachable characteristics. All Palmyra coffees undergo washed processing at the single central coffee mill of Esmeralda Estate.

The coffee from Palmyra Estate comes from the Palmira farm, located in the heart of Hacienda La Esmeralda. Palmira is the name of the first piece of land purchased by the Peterson family in 1967, and over the years, these lands have expanded to include many smaller farms.

Brewing Guide

FrontStreet Coffee pour-over recommendation: Weigh 15g of Esmeralda Estate Palmira coffee beans, pour into a grinder for medium grinding. The ground particles should be similar to sugar granules. Use water at 90°C and extract with a V60 dripper.

Pour the hot water from the gooseneck kettle in clockwise circles, starting from the center of the dripper. Begin timing when brewing starts. Within 15 seconds, brew the coffee to 30g, then stop pouring water. When the time reaches 1 minute, begin the second pour. During the second pour, like before, pour in clockwise circles with the dripper center as the focal point. Avoid pouring water directly onto the area where coffee grounds meet the filter paper to prevent channeling effects.

When pouring water to the outermost circle of the coffee grounds, leave a small margin, then continue brewing in circles toward the center. At 2 minutes and 20 seconds, the coffee should reach 220g, completing the brewing process.
