The Origin Story: Passion Fruit Coffee
From the pioneering hands of Rodrigo Sanchez in Colombia, this lot is a groundbreaking example of flavor infusion. This Passion Fruit Coffee is created using a specialized Extended Fermentation method where the coffee cherries undergo a co-fermentation process with concentrated passion fruit pulp. This highly controlled process naturally instills the vivid tropical notes into the bean, resulting in an exceptionally bright and intensely flavored filter roast coffee.

Roast Philosophy
This coffee is roasted to a light Filter Roast profile to strictly preserve the complex, highly volatile tropical notes created during the extended fermentation. The light development prevents the caramelization of the natural sugars, allowing the vibrant acidity and the signature fruity and sour character to dominate the cup.
