Genggam Bara Api

Red Apple | Spiced Cookies | Barley | Brown Sugar | Warm & Comforting

“Genggam Bara Api” — holding fire — is the name Renato Pita gives his approach to coffee growing: careful, patient management of heat and energy from cherry to cup. This washed Brazilian delivers the warmth the name promises: sweet apple, baking spice, and a long malty finish that makes it particularly satisfying on a cold morning.

The Story

Renato Pita approaches his farm with a winemaker’s attention to process — noting what each season produces and adjusting the approach accordingly. The name he gives this coffee is a direct statement of intent: holding fire is about managing energy deliberately, not rushing.

The cup delivers on that philosophy. The red apple note is clean and sweet rather than tart; the spiced cookies and barley give it a warm, baked-goods quality. It’s a coffee that tastes exactly as good on the third morning as the first — consistent in the way that only careful farming produces.

In the Cup

Red apple upfront, crisp and sweet. Spiced cookies and barley in the mid-palate; brown sugar in the finish. Warming and comforting, with a long, malty aftertaste. Gets more interesting as it cools toward room temperature.
