AKANE:
Meaning deep red/madder red. Symbolising lush sweetness, boldness, and deep satisfaction. Evoking the visual tone of red fruit and cocoa richness.

Angelica’s farm is located in one of the most remote and ecologically distinct zones of the Chiriquí highlands. A forested frontier bordering the Talamanca mountain range, where terrain, temperature, and wind form an environment unlike any other in the region.

The area is defined by steep relief, constant mist drift, and dramatic thermal amplitude, resulting in a slower cherry development cycle with high sugar integrity and stable seed formation.

Producer Story

Angelica’s farm is located in one of the most remote and ecologically distinct zones of the Chiriquí highlands. A forested frontier bordering the Talamanca mountain range, where terrain, temperature, and wind form an environment unlike any other in the region.

The area is defined by steep relief, constant mist drift, and dramatic thermal amplitude, resulting in a slower cherry development cycle with high sugar integrity and stable seed formation.

Despite its elevated location, Angelica’s farm agronomic focus does not rely solely on altitude. Instead, it leverages strategic terrain orientation, natural wind corridors, and soil microbial richness to optimise tree health and cherry load.

The farm is mapped into low-intervention micro-blocks, allowing Hachi to track plant response under minimal human influence while implementing site-specific organic inputs to reinforce native fertility.

The surrounding primary forest plays a vital ecological role, contributing to hydrological stability, pollinator traffic, and pest suppression.

This farm is not positioned as a pinnacle of flavour, but rather as a testament to terroir diversity, where cultivation is harmonised with wild landscape, producing rare and expressive coffees that mirror the unfiltered character of the land.

From the cupping table

Expect a clean, expressive natural Gesha with deep red fruit sweetness, a gentle winey warmth, and a lingering cocoa nib finish.

The aroma opens rich and jammy, then settles into a round, comforting cup with a long, chocolatey aftertaste.

A slow-sipping coffee. Best enjoyed as filter for clarity and layered sweetness.

Important Information

Roast Dates
  • Roasting Day: We roast our coffee every Tuesday.
  • Order Cut-off: Place your order by midnight on Monday to be included in that week's roast.
  • Dispatch Timing: Orders placed before the cut-off are roasted and shipped within the same week.
  • Late Orders: Orders placed after midnight on Monday will usually be roasted and shipped the following week. However, if we have freshly roasted coffee available from the previous Tuesday's roast, we'll send that instead (while stocks last) so you don’t have to wait an extra week.

As a small-batch roastery, this schedule ensures that you receive your coffee at its freshest.

How long should I 'rest' my coffee?

To enjoy the full flavour and nuances of your coffee, we recommend the following rest periods from the roast date:

Coffee Roasted for Filter:

  • Dark: 2 days
  • Light to Medium: 4-10 days
  • Very Light and/or Very Dense Coffee: 10 days or more

Coffee Roasted for Espresso:

  • Dark: 2 days
  • Medium: 8-10 days
  • Light: 10 days or more

Resting allows the coffee flavours to develop fully.

While these recommendations generally provide the best results, individual preferences and specific beans may vary. If in doubt, wait 2 weeks after roast date.
