short stories is a place where we can
have the opportunity to refocus in on
something about coffee that we are very
interested in and passionate about so we
have three coffees grown at different
altitudes but they're also from quite
different farms both in size how
technologically advanced they are those
things have some impact on the flavor as
well but the altitude is really what
kind of is the most interesting to me
and that's something that you can't
necessarily manipulate too much one
starts at 1600 meters in 1750 and then
1,900 meters has a race that we take
altitude as a great starting point for
any profile this short story is
different we're racing for espresso now
we approach espresso roasting
differently to filter icing as we are
looking for balance in the cup because
there's small lot we have to get it
right first time so preparation is key
one of the reasons why I think people
should kind of come with us on this
journey up the mountain if you will is
that you you rarely get the chance to
relate contrast and compare coffees side
by side in the way if you can follow us
through these coffees and they're in a
consecutive order then you'll gain a
deeper understanding of what it's like
producing coffee and the elements that
you have to live with based on where
your farm is and what you can do to
maximize the potential of the product
that you're trying to create the great
thing about racing for espresso is that
is super super challenging and then you
know I'm stoked we've got these great
coffees to share me
