Extra
Single-origin espresso that we want to catapult you into coffee heaven with. In a bag with the Extra logo, you will always find espresso that is exceptionally flavorful and so juicy that it surprises beginners in specialty coffee. But for connoisseurs, it's an experience you shouldn't miss out on.
At Extra, you'll find a different espresso every time, it's always single-origin, meaning from a single farm. We roast it lightly to highlight its sweetness and acidity. We recommend preparing it in high-quality espresso machines, which can bring out the best in it.

Which coffee is currently in Extra?
Panama Emporium - natural processed catuaí variety from Graciano Cruz
How does it taste?
This microlot has excited us with its distinctly juicy flavor of tropical fruit, complemented by undertones of milk chocolate. A fun yet well-balanced espresso, which is exactly why we chose this coffee for the Extra edition.
About the farm
Finca Emporium is located at the famous region Boquete. It is the lower elevation farm of our friend Graciano Cruz. All coffee picked at this farm is processed using the traditional natural method. The result of the specific microclimate, terroir and chosen processing style is a noticeably juicy and sweet cup reminiscent of tropical fruits, herbs and spices.
Graciano´s farms are an example of biodiversity. Together with perfectly healthy coffee trees of different varieties (Yellow and Red Catuai, Caturra, Pacamara, Typica and even the rare Arabica Purpurascens) you will find here an abundance of oranges, mandarins, citruses, avocados, guavas, you name it. The complete drying process takes place on raised African beds built using locally sourced bamboo.
Processing
Freshly picked cherries were carefully sorted and then dried on African beds for three weeks. After drying, the cherries were transported to Boquete and hulled and sorted at a local dra-millbefore being exported.
