About

Huabal is a combination of coffees from three farms in San Francisco de Agua Colorada. The farms are owned by cousins Agustina Villanueva, Elver Coronel, and Manuel Villanueva. The coffee is put together by Cultivar, the exporters we work with in Peru. This is the fourth year we have selected Huabal, and we are really pleased to have the coffee available on our counter again. It has been a tricky couple of years in this coffee growing region in Peru, with a bit too much rain and some very cold temperatures which have threatened frost a few times. Coffee does not do well with either, too much rain can impact cherry maturation, and frost can kill new growth and even entire trees if it is severe. We’re hoping to visit the producers of Huabal again later this year and hear more about how the town of San Francisco de Agua Colorada was founded. It is only twenty-five years old, with a population of seventy people. The town supports the small-scale coffee farmers and market gardeners in the area.

Grind Guide

Cafetière

A coarse grind also suitable for cold brew. We use the word cafetière, but this can also be referred to as a French press, plunger or press pot.

Aeropress slow

Suitable for making a long, filter style coffee, often brewed for a few minutes. Similar to our paper filter setting.

Filter

This is suitable for our paper filters and ceramic or plastic cones, along with other brands such as V60, Clever dripper and Melitta.

Stovetop

This is an espresso style grind suitable for use in hob top espresso pots such as a Bialetti or Grunwerg. Sometimes referred to as a moka pot.

Aeropress fast

This is also an espresso style grind ideal for brewing a short, concentrated, espresso style coffee in an Aeropress.

Domestic espresso

A fine grind for using in your home espresso machine. Grind requirements will vary depending on brand and model, but this setting aims to work for the majority of home setups.

Whole beans

For use in your home grinder!

If you use a different method such as a syphon or Chemex, require a custom grind or need some advice, please get in touch and we will be happy to help.
