Tasting Notes: Strawberry, cherry, hazelnut, cacao
What we love about this coffee is the amazing depth of character as well as the intense, deep fruit notes that burst forth in every sip. We anxiously await new harvests every year from Christian and his family, owners of La Revuelta farm, knowing they will be consistently remarkable. And they never disappoint!
Originally a cactus farm for natural clothing dye, La Revuelta farm has been in the Samayoa family since the 1800s. In 1995, under the leadership of Christian Starry and his dad, coffee became their sole focus. Under their leadership, the farm has evolved into a world class, highly regarded coffee producer. As the first farm in their region to build their own wet mill; they are dedicated to producing coffee with the highest degree of quality and integrity.
Christian (shown above), is also the founder of Truth Trading Company, an organization dedicated to helping fellow coffee farmers produce high quality coffee that is directly traded with roasters such as ourselves. With Christians help, many local farmers are now able to grow long-term, fully transparent trading relationships.
We think you will love this naturally processed coffee—a bourbon varietal bursting with natural fruit flavors of strawberry and cherry combined with a subtle cacao, hazelnut undertone. Net weight 12 oz.

Brewing Tips
Use Filtered Water
Contaminants and chemicals in your water can make your coffee taste muddy, and they can also be harsh on your equipment. Using filtered (but not distilled) water helps your coffee taste clean, bright, and naturally sweet. And while there are a lot of expensive water filters on the market, we find that an inexpensive, basic carbon filter does a great job filtering water for coffee brewing.
Grind Fresh
We all love the smell of freshly ground coffee but all that beautiful aroma should be going into your cup and not just into the air. That is why we recommend grinding your coffee immediately before brewing so that all that goodness isn’t lost. The sooner you use your coffee after grinding, the more flavorful your cup will be preventing it from tasting stale and flat. And for best grinding results, we highly recommend using a quality burr grinder.
Coffee to Water Ratio
The amount of coffee beans you use can have a big impact on taste. Too much coffee, and the cup can taste heavy and sour. Too little coffee, and the cup can taste thin and bitter. We recommend using a 1:16 ratio by weight, 60g of coffee for every 1,000g of water which is about 2 Tbsp of coffee for every 8oz of water. Our preference is to use a scale to weigh coffee and water for accuracy and consistency, all of which can make a big difference.
