What is air-roasted coffee and how does it improve coffee quality?

Air roasting is a premium specialty roasting method where coffee beans are roasted using circulating hot air instead of traditional drum roasting with direct heat. This advanced roasting technique creates several benefits: More even roast development with fewer burned or scorched coffee beans Cleaner cup profile with brighter, more nuanced coffee flavors Extended freshness because air roasting reduces bean density while highlighting inherent coffee characteristics Superior quality control for small batch coffee roasting As a specialty coffee roaster, we use air roasting as our commitment to delivering the highest quality artisan coffee you can taste in every cup.

Should I buy whole bean or ground coffee, and which grind size is best?

Whole bean coffee is best for freshness —stays fresh for 2-4 weeks vs. 1-2 weeks for ground coffee. We recommend grinding coffee at home just before brewing for optimal flavor. If you prefer convenience, choose ground coffee based on your brewing method: Coarse grind: French press coffee, cold brew coffee Medium grind: Drip coffee makers, pour-over coffee Medium-fine grind: Cone-shaped pour-over, AeroPress coffee Fine grind: Espresso machines, espresso brewing Choosing the right coffee grind size for your brewing method ensures proper extraction and the best coffee flavor.

Origin & process

From the misty mountains of Huila Pitalito, grown at 1,500–1,800 meters where coffee thrives. These beans undergo meticulous washed processing, removing the fruit to reveal pure coffee clarity. The high altitude creates density that allows us to roast light or dark while preserving complexity. This is Colombian coffee at its finest.

Brew guide

Quick Answer — Pour-over/Drip: 1:16 ratio, 200°F (93°C), 3–4 minutes brew time.

Drip/Pourover recipe: The magic ratio is 1:16 coffee-to-water. Heat your water to 200°F (93°C) and aim for a 3–4 minute extraction. This brings out the nuanced flavors whether you've chosen light, medium, or dark.

Espresso: El Tiple makes espresso that'll rival any Italian blend. Medium roast pulls bright, fruity shots perfect for milk drinks. Dark roast? Pure espresso heaven – bold, sweet, with chocolate notes that linger.

Freshness & storage

Your beans begin their journey the moment we roast them. After 24–72 hours of degassing, they hit their stride – peaking between days 3 and 14 but staying delicious for weeks. Keep them sealed tight, cool and dark. Pro tip: buy extra and freeze unopened bags for months of fresh coffee.

Grind options

Whole Bean — Maximum freshness and flavor control with your burr grinder
Drip Grind — Perfect for automatic drip makers, Ninja, and most pour-overs
Espresso Grind — Dialed for prosumer machines (fine-tune to taste)

FAQs

What does Colombia El Tiple - Single Origin taste like?

It's a shape-shifter in the best way. Medium roast bursts with red apple brightness, honey sweetness, and delicate jasmine florals. Go darker and watch it transform – chocolate emerges, caramel deepens, while that signature Colombian balance remains. Every roast level is a different adventure from the same exceptional beans.

Is Colombia El Tiple - Single Origin better for espresso or drip?

Honestly? It excels at both. As drip or pour-over, you'll taste every nuance – the fruit, the florals, the sweetness. As espresso, it's a powerhouse. Medium roast creates bright, complex shots that cut beautifully through milk. Dark roast delivers that bold, syrupy espresso that stands alone or anchors a perfect cappuccino.

How fresh is my order?

We roast your beans the day you order – no warehouse, no waiting on shelves. Your coffee ships within 1-2 days and arrives ready to brew. While it peaks between days 3-14 post-roast, these beans stay vibrant and delicious for weeks when stored properly.

What grind should I choose?

Whole bean is always best – grind fresh for maximum flavor and aroma. But we understand the morning rush! Our Drip Grind is perfect for your automatic coffee maker or pour-over setup. Espresso Grind is precisely calibrated for prosumer machines, though you might need minor adjustments for your specific setup.

Is this coffee ethically sourced?

Every bean tells a story of partnership. We work directly with farmers in Huila Pitalito who use sustainable washing methods and receive fair compensation for their exceptional coffee. When you buy El Tiple, you're supporting Colombian farming families and sustainable agriculture at 1,500+ meters elevation.

How should I store my beans?

Treat these beans like the treasure they are. Keep them in our bag with the valve (or transfer to an airtight container), stored somewhere cool and dark – your pantry is perfect. Avoid the counter near windows or appliances. Buying in bulk? Seal and freeze extra bags for up to 6 months of fresh coffee on demand.
