This Colombian single-origin coffee is from Deiro García Botina's Finca Lord Voldemort in Pitalito, Huila at 1,800 meters altitude. The Ombligon variety undergoes an anaerobic washed process featuring yeast and watermelon fermentation. After cherry sorting and 36-hour oxidation, beans are depulped and fermented for 48 hours with watermelon pulp substrate and Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast before washing and 12-day drying. Light roasted with distinctive crown melon, melona bar, and cantaloupe flavor notes balanced by subtle cucumber and mint.

Founded in 2020 at the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic, Moonwake Coffee Roasters emerged from the passion of two former tech engineers, Ming Wood from Tesla and Mabel Yeung from Meta. What began as Ming's personal coffee project within Tesla's internal coffee club evolved into a full roastery operation after both founders chose to leave their tech careers to pursue coffee full time between 2023 and 2024. Moonwake represents a growing movement of technologists who discovered that coffee roasting offers greater fulfillment than their previous careers, channeling engineering precision into specialty coffee.
