About This Coffee

This Bourbon Sidra from Colombia uses a highly controlled, fruit-driven co-fermentation process. Ripe cherries undergo 48-hour oxidation while starter cultures activate with fresh pineapple, peach, and blackberry. After depulping, the coffee ferments for 48 hours in a bioreactor with pineapple-peach culture. Blackberry must, distilled oils, alcohol, starter cultures, and panela are added before the tank is sealed under nitrogen for 24 hours. The coffee is washed and sun-dried for 10 days, then finished in a dehumidification room to 11% humidity and stabilized for 30 days before milling, resulting in a vibrant, fruit-layered washed profile with clarity.

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.
