Latest SLURP rare coffee
Luis Anabel Calderon
This month, we’re bringing you a special coffee with a fascinating twist. Introducing Luis Anibal Calderon’s Yirgacheffe from Villa Betulia in Colombia, roasted to perfection by our dear friends from Manhattan Coffee Roasters, The Netherlands. This coffee offers a delightful sensory experience, with tasting notes of orange, apricot, blackberry, and a juicy finish.
What makes this coffee rare? It’s not just its impeccable quality but its unusual origin story. While Yirgacheffe is an heirloom coffee variety native to the highlands of Ethiopia—renowned for its delicate floral aromas and bright, citrusy acidity—this coffee was cultivated in the lush hills of Colombia, a country more famous for its own coffee varieties. This blend of Ethiopian heritage and Colombian terroir creates a truly unique cup you won’t want to miss!

About Villa Betulia and Luis Anibal Calderon
Villa Betulia, situated in Colombia’s lush coffee-growing region, is owned and managed by Luis Anibal Calderon, a farmer renowned for his dedication to quality and innovation in coffee production.
Luis ensures every step of the process is handled with care. Cherries are carefully hand-picked at peak ripeness to maximise sweetness and are then hand-sorted to remove any defects before processing and drying. His farm is home to an extraordinary array of heirlooms, mutations, and hybrid varieties, making it a veritable treasure trove for coffee enthusiasts.
Located at 1,600 meters above sea level, Villa Betulia benefits from a unique microclimate that remains cool year-round. This environment allows for slow fruit maturation and extended fermentation processes, resulting in exceptional coffee flavors.
Luis, a third-generation coffee farmer, began his journey in the coffee world at just nine years old, working on his father’s farm. His relentless curiosity and passion for rare and unique coffee cultivars have earned him a reputation as a trailblazer in coffee cultivation. Viewing his farm as an arboretum, Luis continually experiments with new varieties, achieving outstanding results and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in specialty coffee.

SLURP rare V60 brewing guide
Created by: Jarno Peräkylä
- Insert the paper filter and rinse it thoroughly with hot water. Discard water.
- Add 20 grams of coffee ground similar to domestic filter brewer. Make sure the coffee bed is level.
- Pour 60 grams of water (96 °C degrees) on the grounds. Mix gently with a spoon so that all grounds are wet within 15 seconds. Let bloom.
- At 0:45, start pouring water evenly all around the slurry with a circular motion. No extra turbulence is needed. Stop once you’re at 300 grams water. This should be around 1:20 so adjust the pouring speed accordingly.
- Take a spoon and gently stir the surface of the slurry. The idea is to knock particles off from the top edge of filter paper.
- At 1:45, grab the V60 and give it a gentle stir, again to knock any high-and-dry grounds from the edge of filter paper.
- The total draw downtime should be around 2:30-2:45. If the draw is too fast, adjust the grind size finer. If the draw is too slow, adjust the grind size coarser.
