ESPRESSO 
SYNERGY BLEND

The Synergy blend has been a part of Villino’s offering since they started roasting in 2009. The blend comprises three high quality, washed process coffees, from Colombia, Guatemala and Ethiopia.

The base of this blend is a washed Colombian called ‘San Sebastian’ from the Huila region. This coffee is a remarkable example of the quality coming out of Colombia. Notable for its high-quality acidity and rich sultana and caramel notes, San Sebastian is the lifeblood of Synergy and sets the stage for this outstanding washed blend.

The next component is a regional lot out of Guatemala called ‘Quetzal’, named after the national bird of Guatemala. Also of the washed process, this coffee brings complex fruit characters as well as some earthy complexity.

The highlight of the blend comes from the highly acclaimed Yirgacheffe region in Ethio- pia. This component is responsible for the floral aroma and further enhancing the cara- mel like nature of Synergy.

FILTER COFFEE
LOS PIRINEOS

This exceptional coffee hails from El Salvador, nurtured in the Tecapa mountain range’s hilltops, a region renowned for its volcanic richness. Los Pirineos sets itself apart by hosting El Salvador’s most extensive seed bank and offering a diverse array of coffee varieties and processing methods. Among their offerings, Villino was particularly drawn to the Supernatural Bourbon lot.

The Supernatural process refines techniques from anaerobic fermentation. It begins with meticulous hand-sorting to ensure only the ripest, reddest cherries proceed to processing. These cherries are then sealed in grainpro bags to ferment without oxygen interference. After adequate fermentation, the cherries are spread thinly on raised beds in direct sunlight, allowing for even moisture reduction. To precisely control the drying process, the cherries are moved to shaded areas before reaching their ideal moisture levels, slowing dehydration. Once the moisture content stabilises between 10-12%, the coffee is stored in dried cherry pods until it’s ready for milling and export. This careful process ensures a uniquely refined and flavourful coffee experience.

The Bourbon varietal was chosen as Villino found it to be a very balanced cup with beautiful notes of pineapple and blueberry. The aroma will pique the interest of anyone who happens to be in the same room as you when you open the bag and will really turn heads when it hits the grinder!
