About this coffee
We took Ethiopian green coffee beans and placed them inside a barrel that once held Portuguese Port wine from Quinta do Tedo. Two origins, one unexpected meeting — Ethiopian coffee and a Portuguese wine tradition, brought together before roasting.
This is a limited release by its very nature: one barrel can hold only so much. And no batch can be repeated exactly. The barrel ages, the coffee changes, and time moves in one direction. A future batch may follow the same idea, but it will never capture quite the same moment.
In the cup
Dried fruits lead the way, followed by white flowers, late-harvest grapes, oak, vanilla and liqueur. Roasted for omni brewing, this coffee invites you to explore the same limited release through both espresso and filter.
How to brew
Filter: use 15 g of coffee for 250 g of water at 92–94 °C; aim for a total brew time of 2:45–3:15.
Espresso: use 18 g in the basket and aim for 36–40 g out in 26–30 seconds.
