Story

Triangle Accent

An incredible coffee from Finca Rosita - one of Bolivia's finest. 

Finca Rosita is located in the Illimani community in the gorgeous region of Caranavi, Bolivia. The farm covers 32 hectares, solely dedicated to coffee cultivation. The farm is named in honor of the memory of the matriarch of the Valverde-Aramayo family, Rosa Angelica Aramayo.

The fermentation is anaerobic, that means that the coffee is fermented in completely sealed tanks without oxygen. Airlocks are used to allow the coffee to release co2 gases without oxygen entering the tank. This allows a completely controlled and homogeneous fermentation. This lot is fermented and dried in cherry. To determine the proper fermentation point, a brix meter (sugar content meter) is used. During the fermentation process, the coffee releases a liquid that accumulates at the bottom of the tank. Each tank has a tap where the brix of the liquid is measured every 3 to 4 days to determine if the coffee has fermented properly. When the sugar content of the coffee reaches 8 brix, the coffee is removed from the tank to proceed with drying. This fermentation process takes between 4 to 5 days to complete. 

This dedication to quality shines in the cup. Tropical fruit, cherries and raisins in this clean and wonderfully sweet cup.

Story:

Demitasse got started in the summer of 2011 in Los Angeles, California by Boback (Bobby) Roshan, who was a lawyer when he got into drinking specialty coffee. According to Roshan, “I was drinking mountains of specialty coffee at that time and really started falling into the rabbit hole that is specialty coffee. After a few months of fermenting in my mind, I decided to just go for it.”

Demitasse’s vision is to bring creativity and fun into the coffee drinking experience while being an active member in the community they serve.

Their cafes are known for the crazy drinks they make from scratch, the seasonally rotating shop drinks, the quirky and fun ways their brew coffee, and their commitment to eliminating waste. Their roastery is best known for being one of the first in Los Angeles to roast specialty coffee and being able to develop close relationships with the farms they work with in El Salvador, Guatemala and Costa Rica. Africa is next!

Demitasse understands that sourcing coffee is more than just finding the tastiest coffees in a particular country and buying it. It’s about having the most impact on the coffee producers and adhering to specific guidelines around building and nurturing relationships with producers and forward thinking farmers who take care of their people and the land. “We find that the more we’ve stuck to these guidelines, the better and better our coffees have gotten each year. We value transparency and want you to know that we really do give a $%^& about from whom and where the coffee comes.”

Demitasse believes coffee should be fun and approachable. They vary their roasts so that there is something for everyone and they don't subscribe to a particular dogma when it comes to coffee. “We're approachable and always available to chat, collaborate and to answer questions. Honestly, we take what we do very seriously, but we don't take ourselves very seriously. Our brand reflects that.”
