A wisp of smoke rises in the finish, like the lingering aroma of fire-kissed beans roasted over an open flame.
BABALU - MEDIUM ROAST
Babalu, a Latin-American phrase evoking themes of joy, rhythm, and Cuban musical heritage, is a lively blend designed to invigorate your senses. This medium roast combines beans from various origins, resulting in a vibrant cup with notes of ripe berries, zesty citrus, and a touch of floral undertones. The bright acidity and medium body create a refreshing and dynamic coffee experience, perfect for those who appreciate a spirited and flavorful brew.

PAIRS WELL WITH WHAT?
Babalu’s lively and robust profile pairs beautifully with indulgent sweets and smoky flavors. The velvety richness of chocolate truffles complements its bright acidity, smoked nuts add a savory contrast that highlights its complexity, and a caramel flan’s creamy texture and golden sweetness round out the experience, making each sip feel like a celebration.
TIPS FROM OUR BREWMASTER
Step 1 - Use a Balanced Grind
For drip coffee or pour-over, a medium grind (similar to granulated sugar) works best to ensure the coffee is brewed at the ideal rate. For French press, a slightly coarser grind (like sea salt) is preferred to avoid over-extraction while allowing for full-bodied flavor.
Step 2 - Brew at a Slightly Higher Temperature
For the best flavor, brew medium roast at 195°F to 205°F (90°C to 96°C). This range allows the bright, fruity, and nuanced flavors to develop fully without over-extracting, which could lead to bitterness.
Step 3 - Adjust the Coffee-to-Water Ratio
Start with a 1:15 to 1:17 coffee-to-water ratio (e.g., 15 grams of coffee for every 240 ml of water). This will bring out the balanced, smooth profile of medium roast coffee while providing the right strength and body. Adjust to personal taste for your perfect cup.
Drip Coffee: Medium grind (granulated sugar)
Pour-Over:Medium-coarse grind (slightly coarser than table salt)
French Press:Coarse grind (sea salt)

ABI DAV (MEXICO)
WebsiteAbi is a designer at heart with a taste for letters since she was a child. Her parents work at the Central de Abastos Market and since she was young Abi was close to popular graphics such as labels in warehouses and fluorescent cards. She began labeling after the pandemic with a first approach in calligraphy and lettering, and then with wooden labels and signs. In addition to traditional signage, she also works digitally through designs and logos based on popular Mexican graphics, which is her main inspiration. She has explored different media including jewelry, ceramics, and cookies, among others. Abi has also used various techniques including enamel on sheet, enamel on wood and vinyl on wood.
GROWN AT HIGH ALTITUDE
DIA Reaches The Peaks of Flavor
Our beans are sourced from high-altitude farms, where cooler temperatures and unique growing conditions produce coffee with distinctive flavor profiles. Thanks to the cool climate and nutrient-rich soil, this altitude creates beans with a complexity only found in Latin America’s mountains.
