This coffee is produced by Jose Posada at the Capilla del Rosario farm in Antioquia, Colombia, at an altitude of 2000 meters. It is a blend of Colombia, Caturra, and Castillo varieties. The coffee undergoes a unique Modulado apricot co-fermentation process, where it is pulped and then submerged in a fermentation tank with apricot extracts, various acids, sugars, and a Lactobacillus starter culture. This process enhances sweetness, texture, and aromatic complexity, resulting in a cup with bright acidity and distinct notes of apricot candy, orange, and yellow fruits.
Aaron and Ryley Stout launched Sunday Coffee Project in Portland, Oregon in the fall of 2021, with Aaron initially renting one hour per week at a shared roasting space and learning the craft through hands on practice. The roastery works with importers and exporters who pay well above commodity market prices, ensuring farmers earn living wages. Coffee is roasted every Monday and shipped every Tuesday. The packaging, designed by Sarah Brown, draws on cereal box nostalgia, with color coded characters, Portland bridge illustrations, and a Sunday activities checklist standing in for the usual nutrition facts. It has earned recognition from Sprudge and the SCA Coffee Design Awards.
