BEHIND THE CUP
The return of Otoño Weather marks one of our favorite transitions of the year—when crisp mornings settle in, the air turns cool and clean, and the trees shift into deep yellows and warm oranges. This seasonal blend is crafted to capture that feeling of early autumn: comforting, warm, familiar, and quietly complex. Expect a cup with rich cocoa depth, bright stone-fruit sweetness, zesty orange highlights, and a candied walnut finish that lingers.
STORY
Every year, as summer fades and cooler winds sweep in, we begin building Otoño Weather from our freshest, in-season components. The goal is simple: create a blend that feels like fall—cozy, layered, and approachable, yet still vibrant and full of life.
The 2024 Otoño Weather Blend brings together a curated selection of coffees from Ethiopia and Kenya, each chosen for its structure, sweetness, and balance.
Ethiopian washed heirloom lots provide clarity, florals, and citrus structure.
The seasonal Ethiopia release contributes sweetness and stone-fruit depth.
A touch of Kenya adds bright acidity, subtle complexity, and a clean finish.
The result is a blend that celebrates the flavors of autumn—chocolate, spice, fruit, and toasted nuts—beautifully integrated into a cup with warm sweetness and layered harmony.
ORIGIN — ETHIOPIA & SL-28
Otoño Weather is anchored in East Africa, where high elevations and heirloom varieties shape some of the world’s most expressive coffees.
Ethiopia contributes washed heirloom selections with citrus brightness, florals, and a clean, sweet structure that forms the backbone of the blend.
Kenya brings a touch of vibrant acidity and depth—notes of stone fruit, citrus, and complex sugars that energize the profile.
Together, these origins create a cup that is both comforting and vibrant, mirroring the shift from warm summer afternoons to cool, bright fall mornings.
VARIETIES — HEIRLOOM & KENYAN CULTIVARS
The blend combines classic Ethiopian heirloom varieties—known for their citrus structure, floral aromatics, and delicate sweetness—with Kenyan cultivars that contribute stone-fruit clarity and bright acidity.
This combination creates a cup that is deeply autumnal yet undeniably East African: structured, sweet, and full of character.
PROCESS — WASHED
All components of the blend use a washed process, chosen for its clarity and balance.
Ripe cherries are depulped, fermented under controlled conditions, and washed with clean spring water before drying on raised beds.
The washed method elevates citrus notes, stone-fruit sweetness, and warm cocoa tones—allowing the blend’s seasonal flavor profile to remain crisp and refined.
DRYING — RAISED-BED DRIED
Drying on elevated African-style beds allows for even airflow and slow moisture release, preserving sweetness and structure.
Shade coverings are used during peak sun to protect delicate sugars and maintain stability.
This careful drying preserves the blend’s clean sweetness and extended finish.
ROASTING — PROBAT P25
Otoño Weather is roasted on the Probat P25 using a moderate medium roast profile.
This approach deepens cocoa notes, enhances sugar development, and rounds out the body without overshadowing the blend’s citrus structure and stone-fruit clarity.
Roast curves are monitored within ±2°C, ensuring consistency throughout the season.
ROAST LEVEL — AGTRON GOURMET SCALE
