Mini coffee info guide: What to pay attention to in order to drink better coffee?
Freshly roasted and ground coffee
Use coffee that has not been roasted more than 6 months ago. For maximum flavor and aroma, grind it just before preparation.
Storage
Store the coffee in a room that does not exceed 22°C. It is mainly damaged by heat and light. You can also store coffee in the freezer. Coffee's enemy is oxygen, so always squeeze the air out of the bag before closing.
Grinding
Different preparations require different grinds. Turkish coffee needs the finest, followed by espresso and cafeteria. For filter coffee, we need coarser ground coffee. The coarsest grinding is for the French press.
Water
We recommend using filtered water. The taste of the coffee will be better, and you will also protect your devices from limescale.
Temperature
Coffee is sensitive to temperature. In all preparations, it should not exceed 94-95°C. For cold brew coffee, use cold water, to which you can also add ice cubes.
Cleanliness
Regularly clean your coffee machines and accessories, including the grinder and water heater. Limescale affects the taste of water and consequently coffee.

All flavors are connected by the sweet honey mouthfeel.

Description of the region and the coffee grower
The Santuario farm was founded 24 years ago by Camilo Merizalde with the vision of producing top-quality
Colombian specialty coffees. It gained international recognition in its first decade. Since
In 2012, the Santuario project expanded: Costa Rica (Tres Milagros, 2013), Brazil (Santuario Sul,
2014), Mexico (Ixhuatlan and Guadalupe Zaju, 2017), Ethiopia (Gesha Village, 2020). In 2024,
El Salvador joins as the sixth region. Today, Santuario operates farms in six countries with
diverse varietals and processes. The key advantage of the project is complete control – cultivation, processing,
quality control and sales are carried out directly through the team. This approach ensures traceability
and top quality in all origins.
