This coffee is a Geisha variety from Finca Betania in the Huila region of Colombia, produced by Linarco Rodriguez. It undergoes a white honey process, where cherries are depulped and then dried with some mucilage intact after a 48-hour aerobic oxidation period. The flavor profile features notes of apricot, peach fruit leather, strawberry, and jasmine. This coffee is known for being clean and fruity.
Prodigal Coffee marks the highly anticipated return of industry legend Scott Rao to the roasting game, setting up shop in Boulder, Colorado, to practice what he’s preached in his famous books. After years of consulting, the whole mission is to produce technically flawless roasts that lean unapologetically into lighter, modern profiles, aiming for high-acid, juicy cups. The sourcing is selective, focused only clean, high-scoring greens that can stand up to their data-driven quality control standards.
