Fellow's Take on Los Pinos from Civil Coffee | Brew Recipe

By

Los Pinos, ‘the pines,’ takes its name from the forest canopies of Chiapas. This Bourbon is grown in the communities of Ángel Albino Corzo, where native pine trees provide shade and cooler air that slows the maturation of the cherry, building natural density and depth.

Producers hand-pick ripe cherries only, fermenting them in open tanks for 48 hours before a meticulous wash and slow dry. The result is a cup with clarity rarely seen in Mexican coffees, with notes of caramel, honey and a soft citrus finish.

Developed on a Loring roaster with Espresso Series 1 in mind, where body and sweetness shine.

🌎 Origin: Chiapas, Mexico 

⚗️ Process: Washed, 48-hour anaerobic fermentation 

🔬 Variety: Bourbon 

🔥 Roast: Medium-Light 

Note: Civil recommends a rest period of 2 weeks off roast; Los Pinos tends to hit it’s peak 4 weeks off roast

Grind Guidance

Start in the middle of your espresso range on your grinder, and Series 1 will tell you to go finer or coarser after your shot pulls. It is expected that you might need to adjust based on your specific variables (i.e. location, climate, water mineral content, etc.). Small adjustments go a long way!
