About This Coffee

Colombia washed coffee featuring Wush Wush variety, processed using Elkin Guzman's Tartaric Acid Washed method. Cherries harvested at 20-24 Brix undergo cold water washing, followed by 36-hour oxidation in cherry and 40-hour closed-tank fermentation with tartaric acid solution at 35°C. After pulping, the coffee undergoes a second 24-hour oxidation and 24-hour fermentation, then slowly dried in parabolic dryers over 20-28 days. The processing preserves clarity, structure, and precision.

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.
