Brew advice Best brewed as filter.
This coffee is roasted on order on our Roest sample roaster. Therefore it might take a day longer to be shipped than usual.
This coffee started in Pasto, at La Mejor Taza de Nariño 2025. Our founder Onno was there on the jury for the Best of Nariño cup, cupping the finalist coffees and meeting Luz Mary Alvear at the auction.
Her Gesha from Finca Las Brisas had exactly what makes Nariño exciting: high altitude, clear sweetness and a lifted acidity that feels precise rather than loud. We bought it at auction because it carried both the place and the person behind it.
We packed it as a Stooker Super Special: a limited 100g release in its own box, made for slow filter brews, quiet attention and sharing with someone who cares about coffee.
Things people ask us
What is Best of Nariño?
La Mejor Taza de Nariño is the regional specialty coffee competition and international auction in Pasto, where Nariño microlots are cupped, ranked and presented to buyers from around the world.
Why this coffee?
Because we tasted it there, met Luz Mary, and wanted to bring that auction table back to Amsterdam in a small, careful release.
Filter or espresso?
Filter. This one is about clarity, florals, grape, caramel, orange and citric lift.
