On this episode of Source Code, we sit down for a coffee and chat with our dear friend Harris Nash- formerly with us here at Metric as our Sales Manager and now is Relationship Manager for @saintfrankcoffee and also Green Coffee Buyer for Bonaventure Coffee Project. For us, when we think of an individual who is passionate about the coffee industry, sustainability and the plight of coffee producers- we didn’t need to look any further than Harris. While on a brief layover here in Chicago, host Colin Frew sat down with Harris to discuss the work he has been doing with Honduran coffee farmers, as well as his experience of working on a coffee farm for Yunnan Coffee Traders in China. To watch the full interview- head over to the link in our bio.

Elida Estate ASD Geisha on V60 Brewer The Lamastus family name has become ubiquitous with the highest quality coffee in the world. Elida Estate coffees are produced under a unique ecological condition. The coffee is shade-grown and bird-friendly. The farm is located at a very high elevation in a microclimate with very low temperatures, the coffee trees are surrounded by the Volcan Baru National Park to produce an exceptional environment for coffee cultivation. This Geisha is processed using his own anaerobic slow dry (ASD) method. First, the coffee cherries are fermented in a sealed tank for five days, and then they are dried on raised beds for 45-60 days. This is a longer drying time than traditional naturals and results in a very complex cup with notes of tropical fruits and a sparkling acidity. Here’s our recipe: Water: 300G Coffee: 20G Grind: Medium Fine Brew Time: 4:00 Note: Adjust grind size until the total brew time reaches between 3:30 - 4:00 minutes. A limited number of boxes are available so place your order today for a Friday, May 6th Roast and Shipping Date or stop by the cafe to pick one up.
