About This Coffee

A single-origin Colombian coffee from Finca Anaya, a 4.5-hectare family farm in the Huila region near Acevedo, run by the Aranda Gómez family for over 30 years. The variety is Ombligón, a rare, naturally occurring mutation selected for its exceptional flavor profile. Processed using an experimental yeast fermentation washed method: cherries ferment whole, then depulped and fermented again in water at elevated temperatures with selected yeasts and fruit-based ferment, followed by slow sun drying. Flavor notes include strawberry cream, mango, tropical sweetness, and a subtle bubblegum note. Silky body with a creamy, layered profile and a long finish. Cupping score 87 (Excellent).

Black Hat Coffee

Black Hat Coffee was founded in Hamburg in 2018 by Inna and Slava Zamikhovska, a Ukrainian couple who turned a desire for something tangible and beautiful into a standout specialty coffee brand. Every coffee they roast starts at 85 points on the SCA scale, slow-roasted for over 20 minutes in a drum roaster to preserve each bean's unique profile. What sets them apart is the fusion of coffee with design, music, and culture — their packaging is inspired by suit fabric patterns, and vinyl records spin in their elegantly designed espresso bars. They opened a second location in Berlin in 2025, expanding their concept of timeless elegance meets exceptional coffee. Think specialty coffee meets a bespoke tailoring atelier — and it works beautifully.
