This is a unique anaerobic natural coffee from Finca Milan in Pereira, Risaralda, Colombia. Grown at 1600 meters altitude by third-generation coffee grower Julio Cesar Madrid, this Caturra variety undergoes an innovative cultured embryonic nitro washed process developed by Andres Quinceno. The beans are inoculated with starter cultures and fresh watermelon fruit mossto, then infused with nitrogen to develop unique metabolic flavors. The result is an extraordinary coffee with pronounced watermelon jolly rancher notes complemented by honey and peanut brittle sweetness.
Bassline Coffee was founded in May 2020 by Bradley Katz, an audio video engineer whose custom sound system business was upended by the pandemic, along with co founder Greg Pescheret. Based in Oakland, California, the roastery produces small batches weekly at CoRo, a shared roasting facility in Berkeley that supports a community of roasting professionals. The range spans light through dark roasts, with notable blends including the Bassline Espresso (Brazil and Ethiopia) and the Piccino Blend, a dark roast collaboration with Piccino Coffee Bar in San Francisco. Wholesale accounts include venues across the Bay Area and Lake Tahoe.
