This is a single-origin coffee from Huila, Colombia, grown at 1850 meters altitude by producer Néstor Lasso at El Diviso farm. The coffee features the rare Bourbon Aji variety and undergoes a distinctive Thermal Shock Anaerobic Washed process involving 40-hour anaerobic fermentation, oxidation phases, and a thermal shock wash with 65-70°C water. Light roasted, it displays vibrant flavor notes of peppermint, lychee candy, and mango lassi with aromatic complexity.
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.
