This is the most budget coffee in Heresy’s portfolio and perhaps the most heretical! Pastor is a blend of coffees from the previous season, which proves that there is nothing wrong with transparently saying harvest date! We roast this coffee darker, though in a way that makes it suitable for a variety of brewing methods. It will work especially well in an espresso machine or a moka pot, and for fans of lower acidity, higher bitterness and darker, chocolate and caramel notes, also in pour-over methods. That’s why we call it an universal blend. Pastor doesn’t offer coffees eternal life, but it gives a second one to those that deserve it!
If you’re a coffee geek looking for florals and fruits in your coffee, you’ll find a whole range of them in our seasonal offer! If, instead, you prefer darker, classic coffees, or are looking for a gift for an uncle, grandmother or someone who hasn’t yet explored the world of specialty coffee – we have it! It’s an intense coffee with high sweetness, low acidity and a pronounced but pleasant bitterness (Something like 85% chocolate – yes! Something like espresso at a station near Lecce – no!), and thanks to the use of beans from previous harvests, it also has a much lower price! It’s also our way of less waste, because we have some great beans left in our warehouse…. And that’s how Pastor was created. Cheers!

What a heresy
Almost every roastery has some coffee left over from the previous crop when the new, fresher beans from the last crop come in. These beans are often still good, especially if their quality was high from the beginning, although it usually happens that they lose some intensity, and sometimes there are notes associated with wood.
There are different ideas about how to manage them. Quite a few roasteries sell them at regular price, without disclosing the harvest date, some add them to cheaper blends, others try to hide the flavor with darker roasting or aromatization.
To emphasize the emphasis on fresh, up-to-date crops in our offerings, we always include their dates in the description of the coffees. We dream of making this an industry standard! So that the consumer can more consciously judge quality and freshness against price.
Meanwhile, there is nothing wrong with “past crops” themselves, if we say so directly and price them accordingly lower. It may be one of the few such approaches in the market, but it’s time to bring a little more transparency to the subject of past crop coffees!
