About This Coffee

Elkin Guzman's Catiope varietal from El Mirador, Colombia, grown at 1,550–1,700 meters altitude. This naturally processed coffee undergoes a controlled co-fermentation with a caramelized strawberry mother culture and brown sugar for 176 hours, following an initial citric acid wash. The process enhances lactic acidity and creates strawberry jam sweetness with floral complexity. Dried over 15 days.

Luminous Coffee

Luminous Coffee was founded in 2020 by Mason Salisbury and Lexus Quirante in Las Vegas, Nevada, operating a distinctive pink powder coated Loring roaster in an 1,800 square foot space shared with Dark Moon Coffee. The company follows a Dropstore model, releasing small batch coffees exclusively on Fridays for 24 hour windows, with subscribers getting early access before the public. Luminous sources through direct trade relationships and donates to the Christian Urban Development Association in Arequipa, Peru, supporting education and health projects in coffee growing communities. The two person team has earned recognition from the Specialty Coffee Association's Coffee Design Awards and a Coffee Roaster of the Month designation from Commonly Coffee.
