Renew your energy with the special spring coffee

Spring brings a breeze of freshness and energy and coffee can become an extension of this new beginning. As temperatures rise, bean selection, brewing methods and flavor profiles can be tailored to accentuate the vibrant, complex notes of specialty coffee.

TOGO coffee is roasted with precision and passion to extract the most subtle and refined flavors from selected beans, giving you an authentic and technically advanced coffee enjoying experience.

Sensory profiles suitable for spring

Spring is the season of floral, citrus and fruity aromas and coffee should reflect this freshness.

• Bright acidity – The acidity of coffee is essential for a crisp, refreshing taste. Assortments from Ethiopia or Kenya offer citrus acidity and elegant floral notes.
• Light to medium body – Unlike full-bodied winter coffees, in spring we prefer a lighter body that allows the subtle nuances to express themselves.
• Natural sweetness – Notes of tropical fruits, peaches or berries create a harmonious balance between acidity and sweetness.

The most recommended coffee origins for spring

Heirlom from Ethiopia – Floral and citrus complexity

High altitude berries, washed and processed, which give a floral aromatic profile of jasmine, bergamot and lemon. Ideal for filtration methods such as V60 or Chemex.

Colombia Red Caturra – Tropical fruit and refined balance

This coffee features a combination of natural sweetness and controlled acidity, with notes of hazelnuts, walnuts, citrus and chocolate. Suitable for espresso or AeroPress.

Nicaragua Bourbon – Explosion of citrus and milk chocolate

Coffee appreciated for its complexity, with notes of orange, milk chocolate and a light hint of cocoa. Excellent for manual preparation.

Gascon from Guatemala – Maximum elegance and finesse

One of TOGO’s finest coffees, with a distinct profile of orange blossom, honey and peach, ideal for slow extraction methods such as siphon or Kalita Wave or simply a classic mokapot.

Advanced preparation methods to intensify flavors

Cold beer control

A slow, low-temperature extraction process that enhances the sweet and fruity notes of the coffee. We recommend coarse grinding and an infusion time of 14-16 hours. For best results it is essential to use filtered water and store the infusion in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Cold brew can be enjoyed neat, over ice, or mixed with milk for a balanced cold brew.

Espresso with prolonged extraction

By adjusting the extraction time to 30-35 seconds and the water temperature to 93°C, espressos with a lighter body and delicate aromas can be obtained. It is essential to adjust the grinding degree so that the extraction is uniform, avoiding under-extracted or over-extracted. For extra flavor you can use pre-infusion (blooming) for a few seconds to better release the coffee aromas.

Variable temperature infusion

Methods like Hario Switch allow precise control of the contact time between water and coffee, highlighting different flavor layers depending on the water temperature. By using higher temperatures (96-98°C), it is possible to intensify the sweet and caramelized notes, while at lower temperatures (88-90°C) floral and citrus nuances can be enhanced. For uniform results, a controlled pouring rate and even distribution of water over the mud is recommended.

Seasonal gastronomic associations

For a complete experience, coffee should be paired with foods that complement its flavor profile.

• Heirlom from Ethiopia → It goes perfectly with lemon tarts or lavender biscuits.
• Colombia Red Caturra → It goes well with creamy or sweet cheeses made with tropical fruit.
• Nicaragua Bourbon → Pairs well with dark chocolate or berry biscuits.
• Gascon Guatemala → Excellent alongside almond macarons or fine honey-based desserts.
