Fieldnote — The Collection
Visual concept preview of the Commerce Brand template's Collection page: Presents the four coffees as an illustrated shelf, explains what the grind options actually mean, tells one origin story in full, and answers the questions people ask before ordering. The sections below are a non-interactive composition of open-registry blocks.
Two constants and two rotating lots. Every bag is roasted on Tuesday, ground for your brewer, and dated on the front.
Kestrel and Ironwood are here every week. Long Field and Nine Bells change with the harvest — when a lot runs out it is genuinely gone until next season.
Cocoa nib, dried fig, demerara. A washed Colombian base with a little natural Ethiopian for lift. Forgiving in any brewer, and the one we drink at the bench all day.
Mandarin, cane sugar, toasted almond. Finca La Golondrina at 1,850 m, picked and pulped by Yeimy Restrepo and her brother. Roasted light, for filter.
Apricot, jasmine, peach skin. Dried on raised beds at 2,050 m and hand-sorted three times before it left the station. Nine days on the bed, hence the name.
Dark chocolate, black plum, walnut. Roasted longer and rested four days before it ships. Sweet at eighteen grams, still sweet at twenty-two.
A burr grinder is the cheapest upgrade in coffee. If you have not got one yet, tell us the brewer and we will match it for you.
Whole bean
Sealed within the hour, with the setting we would use written on the card. The best of the four if you own a grinder.
Filter
Medium, for pour-over, batch brew, and anything with a paper filter. Ground the morning the post goes out.
Espresso
Fine, dialled against our own bench shot. Expect to move a notch on your machine, and write to us if it fights you.
Moka and plunger
Coarse for a plunger, fine-but-not-espresso for a moka pot. Say which one and we will set it.
Finca La Golondrina sits at 1,850 m above the Huila valley, steep enough that everything comes down by mule. Yeimy Restrepo picks it in three passes, ferments in tile tanks overnight, and dries it on the patio she rebuilt in 2021.
We have bought the same lot for six harvests. Nothing about it is guaranteed — a wet October can take half of it — which is exactly why the year is on the bag.
The five things people write to ask, answered here so you do not have to.
Tell us what you brew on and what you drank last. We will pick the bag we would put in our own post.
