Java Blossom

About This Coffee

This coffee is a Java variety from Colombia, grown at 1,450 MASL in the Fresno region of Tolima. It is produced by Elias & Shady Bayter at El Vergel Estate using Natural processing combined with Carbonic Maceration — the first such experiment on Java at the estate. The cherries ferment for 96 hours in sealed tanks with CO2 injected at 6 bars, then sun-dry on raised beds for 25 days before stabilizing for 30 days in GrainPro bags. The cup offers pronounced floral aromatics with sweet complexity including blueberry sweets, honeydew melon, kiwi, jasmine, chamomile, brown sugar, crisp apple, and watermelon notes.

Carnival Coffee Roasters

Juan and Jayne, a husband and wife team, founded Carnival Coffee Roasters in 2019 in Penge, south east London, after a conversation in a local pub. The connection to coffee is deeply personal: Juan's grandfather won a mountain in Medellin, Colombia, in a card game, and the family has grown coffee on it ever since. The roasting runs on a Loring air roaster visible to customers on roasting days, and the sourcing emphasizes relationship coffee from Colombia, Ethiopia, and Nicaragua. All packaging is designed by Penge based artist Rosie Lovelock, with unique mask illustrations inspired by the carnival theme. The operation extends into collaborations with local breweries on specialty coffee beers and cycle deliveries across south east London.
