Flavors: Wild Cherry, Peach Rings, Honeydew Melon
We are so excited to have our first coffee in by renowned producer Andres Cardona - Luna Azul / Blue Moon. Its innovative processing style is fundamental to the outcome in the cup. After the fermentation phase, the skin and pulp of the coffee cherry are removed without water pressure, retaining the mucilage layer going into the drying phase, preserving all of the wonderful sugars altered during the fermentation phase.
In the cup, we experience notes of candy, fruity notes with balanced tartness and sweetness!
PROCESS: Black Honey
REGION: Santa Barbara, Antioquia, Colombia
VARIETAL: Castillo, Colombia
ELEVATION: 1650 meters
*This coffee is a microlot, meaning that the producer only grew a limited quantity due to the level of attention to detail applied, especially in maintaining the varietal and not allowing hybridization between different varietals. That being said, the cost of purchasing these coffee greens is significantly higher, necessitating a higher price point on our end. Hence, Limited Edition/Ltd. Ed.

WHAT IS DIRECT TRADE?
Our green coffee is imported by De La Finca Coffee, who specializes in direct trade relationships. This means that they work directly with farmers to make sure farmers receive more money for their work. From De La Finca: "Through this supply chain model, we not only are able to empower and connect both farmers and roasters but we are also able to reinvest in local coffee growing communities through long-term school projects and initiatives, realizing our long-term vision for sustainable and independent communities."

ON ROASTING
Since we invest in great greens, we focus our roasting energy on getting out of their way. Our small-batch, fluid-bed roaster allows us fine control over roast profiles in addition to yielding a squeaky clean cup. We categorize our coffees by light, medium, and dark roasts, but we really view these levels as cues for tasting notes rather than actually reflecting roast profile.
