The Origin Story

Hailing from Finca El Mirador in Huila, Colombia, this lot is a masterpiece by the renowned innovator Elkin Guzman. This Co-fermented Coffee is the result of a revolutionary Experimental process where natural Strawberry fermentation extract is introduced during the anaerobic stage. This bold technique amplifies the inherent fruit flavor of the coffee bean, delivering an intensely sweet and complex profile designed specifically for those who seek a truly unforgettable and powerful taste.

Roast Philosophy

This coffee is handled with an ultra-light Filter Roast to rigorously preserve the intense fruit esters created by the Strawberry fermentation. The light development prevents the caramelization of sugars, ensuring that the unique Tangerine notes and the intense, clean fruit flavor are the dominant characteristic, showcasing why this is a highly prized Experimental process.
