A Colombian single-origin from Jairo Arcila's Santa Monica farm in Quindío, grown at 1450-1500 masl. The coffee is 100% Castillo variety, washed processed, and fermented with wine yeast and banana on raised beds. The new washed lot offers sweet, clean aromas with banana candy, juicy fruit bubblegum, and booziness reminiscent of banana liqueur with nutmeg notes. Balanced cup with ripe banana in the finish that tastes best as it cools.
Nick and Charlie started S&W Craft Roasting as avid home roasters and built it into a focused, direct to consumer operation based in Coatesville, Indiana. The roastery is veteran owned and runs exclusively online with no brick and mortar retail, keeping the emphasis squarely on the coffee itself. All production goes through a refurbished 1993 Sasa Samiac drum roaster fitted with Agtron color control systems for precise, repeatable results. The catalog runs deep, with roughly 99 single origin varieties sourced from Ethiopia, India, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Colombia, China, and beyond. Their roasting philosophy prioritizes origin character over roast imprint, with no artificial flavorings, preservatives, or additives.
