Colombia Los Patios Solsticio is a community mixed-fermentation coffee from Gigante, Huila, Colombia, produced by Coffee Quest. The lot is primarily Castillo variety grown at 1,700–2,000 masl and processed through a three-stage mixed fermentation using Coffee Quest's proprietary "Fruit Juice" recipe, including aerobic and anaerobic phases and controlled drying to 10–11% moisture. Light roasted, the cup features mango nectar, candied ginger, pineapple, and mint alongside broader fruit-forward notes.
Color Coffee Roasters is the brainchild of Charlie Gundlach, who turned his backyard roasting obsession into a legit operation in Eagle, Colorado, back in 2016. They’re pretty geeky about the science, hence the name Color, which links specific tasting notes to actual colors in a spectrum. Yet, they keep the vibe super chill and approachable for everyone while hunting for that perfect sweet spot on their energy-efficient Loring roaster to let the natural terroir really pop. Plus, they’re big on sustainability and transparency, so you can feel good about drinking a cup that’s as kind to the planet as it is tasty.
