The Little Marionette

About This Coffee

This single origin Geisha from Colombia's Huilia region, grown at 1800-1900 meters altitude, undergoes a distinctive semi-washed anaerobic process. The coffee features a double fermentation: 140 hours in GrainPro bags with mucilage, followed by 2 days in plastic tanks, then 18 days sun drying with tangerine peel infusion, and a 25-day stabilization period. The result delivers sweet aromatic, floral, citric, green tea, lemongrass, and orange notes.

The Little Marionette

The Little Marionette is a specialty roastery in Rozelle, in Sydney's Inner West, founded in 2010 by Ed Cutcliffe. The name plays on the image of a puppeteer pulling strings, a nod to Cutcliffe's role in connecting producers, roasters and drinkers across the supply chain. The roastery works on a 1967 Probat, chosen for its cast iron thermal properties and the deeper caramelisation they bring to the cup. Around 80 percent of sourcing runs through direct relationships with farms including Volcán Azul in Costa Rica, Finca Campos Hermoso in Colombia and Daye Bensa in Ethiopia, several of which have placed in the Cup of Excellence. The Little Marionette has since expanded internationally with operations in London, Winchester and New York.
