Southbound Coffee Co • Jan 06, 2022
New Relationships. New Coffee.
One of our goals for 2022 is to start cultivating direct relationships with coffee farmers and producers. Currently, we use our friends at Cafe Imports and Walker Coffee to import coffees from all over. While we plan to continue to utilize their services, we are also excited to announce our first direct coffee relationship - Finca Lerida of Boquete Valley, Panama.
Our relationship with Finca Lerida began at our the SCA New Orleans Coffee Convention 2021. Hundreds of coffee professionals, roasters, baristas, farmers, and producers gather to learn new skills and showcase their offerings. Throughout the event, we tried several unique coffees there, but the Honey Geisha from Finca Lerida stood out to us amongst the rest. We knew in that moment that we wanted to begin a relationship with them and roast their coffee.
A Coffee Unlike any other!
Boquete valley is known to be where the Geisha varietal was first successfully grown in the Americas – partly due to its rich & unique volcanic soil. Our friends at Finca Lerida have outdone themselves with a beautiful honey processed Geisha.

This coffee will be unlike any you have experienced before. With notes of sweet honey, English Breakfast tea, and a freshly picked bundle of wildflowers, your tastebuds will be both enlightened and mesmerized.

Pour overs are a great way to taste the natural flavors of coffee. It is known for its clean and pure taste–very tealike in texture. In this video, Josiah and Fields joined Melissa Mathieson with "What's Next God? Podcast" to demonstrate how to brew the best pour-over at home. Pour Over Recipe Ratio: 20g/340ml = 1:17 ratio 1. Pour water in the V60 with the paper filter to wet the filter and warm the vessel. Once the paper is fully saturated and the vessel is warm, pour the remaining warm water in the cup you are going to drink out of to warm the cup also. (0:46) 2. Tare your scale. Pour 20 grams of medium ground coffee in your pour-over. Flatten the coffee ground bed and gently press an indention with your finger in the middle of the grounds. This ensures all coffee will be saturated. (0:55) (1:19) 3. Start your timer. Pour 2-3 times the weight of your grounds of water (20 grams of coffee = 40-60 ml of water). This is called your first bloom. Give the coffee "slurry" a quick swirl to make sure all grounds are getting soaked. Wait 30-45 seconds for all of the bubblings to stop. (1:45) 4. For your second pour, pour 60% (2/3) of your total weight. In this case, we're making a 340 ml cup of coffee, so we stopped our second pour at 210 ml. When pouring, do so slowly in a clockwise manner and ensure that you're not "bobbing" your kettle (going up and down when you pour) but moving in a horizontal manner. (2:00) 5. After your second pour, give the slurry another quick swirl to ensure even extraction. Let the coffee sink to the bottom of the V60 before beginning your third pour. 6. For your third pour, pour to your end weight, which in this case is 340 ml. Pour in the same manner as you did for the second pour and do the same quick swirl to ensure even extraction. The litmus test to ensure even extraction is a flat, even coffee bed (2:15). 7. ENJOY! This video was done in partnership with "What's Next God" podcast.

French press coffee is a great way to have a rich, full-body cup of coffee. It is a coffee that you wake up to in morning or pair with a cookie or dessert at night. The best part? It is so simple to make. Follow these tips to learn how you can make the BEST French press coffee! In this video, Josiah and Fields joined Melissa Mathieson with "What's Next God? Podcast" to demonstrate how to brew the best French press at home. FRENCH PRESS RECIPE Ratio: 60g/1000ml = 1:16.6 ratio 1. Pour 60 grams of MEDIUM ground (not coarse) coffee into the French press. Medium ground coffee offers better extraction and brings out more flavors of the specialty coffee than coarse coffee would. 2. Pour 1000ml (1 liter) of boiling water into the vessel, agitating the ground bed as your pour. 3. Let the coffee sit for 4 minutes. 4. After 4 minutes, stir the coffee "crust" to let the remaining coffee go to the the bottom. 5. Scrap off "foam" at the top of the French press to have a cleaner cup of coffee. This is optional, especially if you would rather have a richer texture in your cup. 6. Let coffee sit for up to 6 minutes the ensure all solubles and insolubles are extracted. The amount of time you let it sit after you plunge is your preference. Richer cup = long time up to total of 10-12 minutes brew time. 7. Push the plunger down, but only to the top of the coffee. This ensures that you do not get grounds and sediment in your cup. 8. Gently pour out your freshly brewed French press. This video was done in partnership with "What's Next God" podcast.
