Story

Triangle Accent

The Swiss Water Decaf version of this amazing coffee.

This Red & Yellow Caturra is one of the flagship coffees produced at El Vergel Estate. This microlot is Guava trees and has been one of the most intense and fruity coffees developed by the estate.Back in 1995, the Bayter Family rolled up their sleeves and dove headfirst into the agricultural scene at El Vergel farm. 

They started growing coffee in 2006 and in 2016, and with a little guidance from coffee guru Miguel Jimenez, they planted specialty coffee varieties, setting the stage for coffee greatness. In 2018 they started experimenting with natural coffee processes, tinkering with fermentation control and coming up with the famous Koji fermentation process, a game-changer in the green coffee game.The beans undergo a 48 to 60-hour anaerobic fermentation, which enhances their unique flavor profile. This meticulous natural anaerobic process coffee exemplifies the expertise and dedication in coffee processing, offering a distinctive and delightful coffee experience. 

This is a complex coffee that is tart, fruity, and a little boozy. We are reminded of cherry, hibiscus, dried cranberry and lemon. It's a clean coffee with some fermenty flavors that taste like red wine and blackberries. As it cools tropical fruits emerge with mango and hints of pineapple.

This is a sweet and clean coffee with some red fruit notes

We taste red grape, honey golden raisin and vanilla.  As it cools there are subtle hints of peach and blackberry.

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.”
