About This Coffee

This Colombian washed coffee features a unique co-fermentation process using a mother culture of lactobacillus and saccharomyces cerevisiae originally sourced from Purple Caturra cherries. The culture is enriched with sugar, molasses, and concentrated blueberry juice, then fermented for 190 hours before co-fermenting with whole cherries alongside blueberry and blackberry components. Fermentation is controlled to maintain Brix above 6 and pH above 4. After washing, the coffee dries for 15 days before a 20-day stabilization period.

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.
