This coffee is from Finca Jardines del Edén in the Pijao, Quindío region of Colombia, cultivated and processed by Felipe Arcila. It is an SL28 varietal grown at 1900-2200 meters altitude. The coffee undergoes natural extended fermentation (EF2) processing, creating a juicy, fruit-driven profile. Flavor notes include sweet melon, ripe blackberry, olive, and dark chocolate, with a silky body and clean finish. This coffee represents a fusion of SL28's Kenyan heritage with Colombian terroir. It is roasted for filter brewing.
