Intelligentsia doesn't offer many natural-process coffees. In fact, for many years we didn't offer any at all. Since 2016, we have carefully selected a few naturals each year for our single-origin menu, but they have all come from just one country, Ethiopia. Until now. This natural lot from Colombia represents the hard work of three small-scale family farmers in Nariño.

How To Brew

We recommend starting with a 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio, which provides an excellent total extraction level and maximizes flavor pulled out of the ground coffee. For our single origin coffees we recommend a pour over method either on a Chemex, V60 or Kalita Wave on a 5 or 6 grind setting if you are ordering from intelligentsia.com.
