This is a single origin whole bean coffee from Finca Chambaku, a 12-hectare farm in Villamaría, Manizales, Caldas, Colombia, grown at 1,550 meters altitude. The grower is Juan Felipe Restrepo. It undergoes a Natural Lactic-K process, a proprietary anaerobic fermentation method where hand-harvested cherries are sealed in a bioreactor for 183 hours with "Lactic-K," a culture of water kefir developed on-site. This light roast coffee features flavor notes of raisin, sweet herbs, and tropical fruit with a long, resonant finish.
Webe Coffee opened in Phoenix in early 2023, founded by TJ Sutton after a ten month buildout of the original location. The roastery operates a 20 kilogram production roaster alongside an Ikawa Pro sample roaster, sourcing specialty grade beans from origins including Colombia and Ethiopia. Sustainability is woven into the daily operation, from compostable packaging to donating used coffee grounds to local composters. It is a young roastery building its identity around intention and care at every step of the process.
