Coffee Details

About This Coffee

Las Perlitas, the "little pearls," is a Colombian sourcing project with a clever idea at its heart: many exceptional Colombian coffees are grown in volumes too small to export on their own. Stephen of The Coffee Quest seeks out these tiny, high-quality lots and unites them into a single, cohesive coffee that punches far above its size.

Lot 6 is a standout iteration, built on a powerhouse line-up of varieties: pink bourbon, caturra, geisha and a touch of aruzi. The washed process keeps everything clean and transparent, letting the nectarine, tart red plum and subtle guava notes come through with clarity. A long-time customer favourite, Perlitas is back on the menu, roasted fresh in Kuala Lumpur.

How to Brew Colombia Las Perlitas

Taste as you dial in: if the cup feels sharp or thin, grind a touch finer; if it turns bitter or dry, grind coarser. Small steps make a big difference with a delicate washed coffee like this.

How Much Coffee Is in a Bag?

Brewing filter at around 15g per cup, a 250g bag makes roughly 16 cups and a 1kg bag makes about 65 cups. That's a long run of bright, fruit-forward pour-overs from a genuinely rare, small-lot Colombian coffee, plus plenty of room to experiment with cold brew.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this coffee better for filter or espresso?
Filter, hands down. As a light, washed single origin it's built for pour-over and batch brew, where its nectarine and red-plum clarity really sings. It also makes a fabulous cold coffee.

What does Colombia Las Perlitas taste like?
Juicy and fruit-forward: nectarine and tart red plum up front, with a subtle guava undertone. The washed process keeps it clean and bright with a soft body and a fresh finish.

How fresh is it?
We roast to order and ship within one week of your roast date. This coffee is at its best 2 to 3 weeks after roasting, so give it a few days to settle before your first brew.
