This single-origin coffee is grown by Jairo Arcila in Quindio, Colombia at 1450-1500 meters altitude. The Castillo variety undergoes a unique honey process featuring co-fermentation with macerated watermelon and wine yeast for 72 hours with pulp on, then pulped and dried on raised beds. The coffee offers light, fresh, watermelon-forward flavor notes with a natural, refreshing character. Roast color 129.2 indicates a lighter roast.
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.
