Pomelo Brûlée

Sale price$26.00

Pomelo Brûlée is an anaerobic washed Caturra microlot from Finca El Placer in San Agustin, Huila, grown by Daniel Mauricio Bolanos Zuniga. The fermentation process is deliberate and hands-on: cherries go through a two-stage anaerobic rest before being pulped, re-fermented, washed, and dried on raised or parabolic beds for up to 25 days. The result is layered and refined. Bright pomelo up front, settling into salted caramel and vanilla custard. Clean, structured, and surprisingly approachable for a processed coffee.

How to brew it

Starting recipes for the grind options on this bag. Weigh the coffee and the water — a scale is the single biggest upgrade in home brewing.

Method Grind option Coffee Water Ratio Temp Time
Pour-over (Hario V60) Pourover/V60 22 g 355 g 1:16 200-205°F 2:30-3:30
Automatic drip / batch brewer Drip 22 g 355 g 1:16 200-205°F Machine controlled
French press French Press 24 g 355 g 1:15 200-205°F 4:00
Espresso Espresso 18 g in 36 g out 1:2 — 26-30 sec

Ratios are a starting point, not a rule. Weak and thin? Go stronger. Harsh and drying? Go lighter. If changing the ratio does not fix it, the lever is grind, not dose.

Sourcing with Integrity

Finca El Placer is a 5-hectare farm in San Agustin, Huila, operated by Daniel Mauricio Bolanos Zuniga as part of the Asociacion los Naranjos. The farm sits at 1,700 masl and is home to up to 11,000 coffee trees alongside other produce. Daniel's fermentation process is what sets this lot apart. Harvested cherries are floated to remove impurities, then placed in open containers for 48 hours before being pulped and returned for a second 72-hour fermentation with a small amount of water. The coffee is then washed and moved to African raised beds or parabolic dryers for 20–25 days. Huila accounts for nearly 20% of Colombia's total coffee production, with 80% of farms under three hectares. This lot was sourced through Cafe Imports as part of their Colombian microlot program, which requires an 87+ cup score and full traceability to the producer.

Before you order

How fresh is Boxwood coffee?

Every bag is roasted to order at our Westfield, New Jersey roastery. We roast Monday through Thursday, and orders placed before 12pm ship the same day.

Which grind should I choose?

Our coffees ship in up to six grinds: Whole Bean, Drip, Pourover/V60, French Press, Espresso and Cold Brew. Pick the one that matches your brewer. If you own a grinder, choose Whole Bean — coffee stales fastest once it is ground.

How long does a 12oz bag last?

A 12oz bag holds roughly 340 g of coffee, which at a 1:16 ratio is about fifteen 12 oz cups. We recommend drinking it within four to six weeks of the roast date. Larger 1kg and 5lb sizes are available on most coffees.

Can I get Boxwood coffee on subscription?

Yes. We run three subscriptions — Staples for the everyday blends we pull on bar, Single Origin for seasonal lots at their peak, and Boxwood Labs for our experimental releases. You choose the size, the grind and the delivery frequency, and you can pause, skip or cancel from your account.
