About This Coffee

Golden Beam is a competition-level coffee from Colombia, specifically from Pitalito in the Huila region. This is a Geisha varietal grown at 1,500 meters above sea level. It undergoes an experimental coffee pipe processing method developed through a collaboration between Satus and Coffeelipe, involving anaerobic fermentation with lactic acid bacteria and fermented pink bourbon molasses, followed by 20 days of drying on African beds and 60 days of stabilization. The cup presents tropical fruits, vanilla, honey, and floral notes.
