Los Ángeles

Established 15 years ago by brothers Norman and Edy Canales, Estate Los Angeles blends generational heritage with modern agricultural practice in the high-altitude region of Pueblo Nuevo, Nicaragua. Situated at 1,400 MASL, the estate balances classic and resilient varietals, focusing on Parainema and Caturra. To maximize cup quality, the Canales family uses a precise washed process featuring a 24- to 30-hour fermentation period, 3 days of sun pre-drying, and an extended 18- to 22-day slow shade-drying phase, followed by a minimum one-month green bean rest to lock in flavors.

Meticulously roasted in Toronto by Shelby Merrithew on a Loring Skyhawk, this lot shines as an espresso setup. It pulls a syrupy, heavy-bodied shot with a vibrant pop of juicy tangerine acidity that swiftly rounds out into a smooth vanilla sweetness and a clean, toasted almond finish.

Trop léger. Ma première tasse semblait sans goût. J’ai dû mettre plus de café tassé avec moins d’eau afin d’apprécier. Ce café doit être meilleur avec une machine espresso. Pas vraiment avec filtre.

G'day Melisandre, thanks for your feedback. We definitely have been enjoying this coffee as a V60 with a 1:15/16 ratio and it's been performing well when brewed 5-14 days after the roast date. We are committed to bringing coffees that meet a variety of tastes, and grateful you gave us the opportunity to roast for you! Thank you for being on this specialty coffee journey!

Chemex
Made it on the 6 cup Chem ex! Was quite bold, full strength and balanced. Didn’t pick the vanilla as much but I’ll try a new recipe EDIT: thanks so much for this recipe! I only got a 50 g sample so I might have to order some on your website :)

Lovely and light. The flavours didn’t come out for me, but maybe I’d try a pour over to see if that helped.

G'day Christine, thank you for trying our coffee and appreciate the feedback. We are finding this coffee performs best as a V60 at a 1:15/16 ratio if that helps you enjoy this coffee a little more. We are so grateful for the opportunity to roast for you!
