Abstract

Hover over each feature to learn more.

This coffee is intentionally sourced and roasted to craft the perfect cold brew coffee. Lower in acidity and high in sugar browning, this coffee reacts well with fats in dairy or tastes smooth and sweet on its own. We look for coffees that will take a large amount of heat during the caramelization process and extend the roast times to increase the body and remove acidity. Designed for cold extraction only, expect notes of Cocoa, Dates and a thicken creamy texture.

Origin

Colombia

Colombia uniquely offers a diverse array of coffee varieties and processing methods. Known for innovation and resilience, Colombia's coffee history dates back to the early 19th century, with smallholder farmers being key contributors. Despite challenges like weather and conflict, Colombia consistently produces high-quality specialty coffee. For over a decade years, we've partnered with both large and small-scale producers from all five main growing zones, fostering close relationships and friendships.

Elevation

1850 MASL

Elevation influences coffee cultivation, impacting flavor and quality. Higher elevations offer cooler temperatures, slowing the growth of coffee cherries, allowing more time for complex sugar and flavor development. This results in coffee with brighter acidity and a nuanced flavor profile. Additionally, cooler conditions at high altitudes reduce pests and diseases, making these coffees highly prized for their superior quality and distinct taste.

Variety

Caturra

Caturra is a natural mutation that occurred of Bourbon. Since its discovery in Brazil, it has spread throughout Latin America and is now the benchmark of specialty coffee. It would be an easy case to make to say that Caturra is the workhorse of coffee varieties. But then, you'd have to call a workhorse delicious, and that would be pretty weird.

Harvest

Colombia

Colombia has a unique harvest schedule, thanks to the varied topography and proximity to the equator. Between those two variables, Colombia harvests nearly year round across the five main coffee growing regions. Each region has fairly reliable harvest times that conveniently stagger, providing fresh crop coffee all year round.

Process

Wet Washed

This washed coffee is depulped and fermented submerged in water for twenty-four hours, followed by channel washing. The parchment coffee is then dried for approximately fifteen days on raised beds. The processing impact in the final cup is light, with flavor indicating few signs of fermentation within the overall cup profile.

Drying

Raised-Bed Dried

Raised-beds are scaffold like structures that elevate perforated trays that hold coffee parchment or cherries. The holes in the structure allow for airflow on a near 360 degree level, ensuring that the coffee dries evenly when proper bed turning is practices. Some even go as far as covering the beds with a partial block from the sun, which extends drying and ensures the cell structure of the coffee goes largely undamaged from the UV.

Roasting

Diedrich CR-70

Prior to production, each roast goes through a rigorous dial-in process, where we fine-tune our temperature curves. We roast to tight tolerances, with no more than 1° deviation from target temperatures, ensuring quality and consistency in each batch.

Agtron

#60 Expressive Dark

Offerings that fall within our dark category are heavily developed, but origin characteristics are not lost in the cup. Our sensory notes we find common for this roast category are dark chocolate and cocoa, molasses or brown sugar, with more clear fruit characteristics if they're present in the intrinsic taste profile of the coffee. Coffees within this development range exhibit acidity and clear sweetness, garnering the adjective of expressive.

Inventory

Evergreen

Our year-round rigorous sourcing allows us to have an evergreen blend with a flavor profile of high quality while retaining our commitment to seasonal coffees. This amount of cupping and blending takes a considerable amount of time, but we think it makes the difference and is a system we use for all our blends.

Extraction

Cold Brew

Filter extraction offers a clean, nuanced flavor with distinct layers, ideal for appreciating subtle notes. Espresso extraction is intense and concentrated, highlighting bold, rich flavors with crema. It's usually suited for milk-based drinks, providing a robust foundation.

T h e S t o r y

What is cold brew anyways? Well, it’s a method, a beverage, and an ingredient all wrapped up in one buzzword. At its most simple it is ground coffee steeped in room temperature water to produce a lower perceived acidity, as well as producing a creamy texture. This method uses time...
