Single producer lot from Edwar Guivin Fernandez's farm El Refugio del Mono in the Beirut community of Bongará, Amazonas, Peru. Grown at 1,800-1,900 meters above sea level with Typica and Caturra varieties. Washed process: cherries are depulped and fermented for 18-24 hours, washed with clean water, then dried for 12-22 days on patios or under parabolic dryers. The farm sits within the Alto Mayo Protected Forest where coffee cultivation coexists with wildlife conservation. Features flavor notes of cola, toffee brittle, and cherry with a light roast profile.
Color Coffee Roasters is the brainchild of Charlie Gundlach, who turned his backyard roasting obsession into a legit operation in Eagle, Colorado, back in 2016. They’re pretty geeky about the science, hence the name Color, which links specific tasting notes to actual colors in a spectrum. Yet, they keep the vibe super chill and approachable for everyone while hunting for that perfect sweet spot on their energy-efficient Loring roaster to let the natural terroir really pop. Plus, they’re big on sustainability and transparency, so you can feel good about drinking a cup that’s as kind to the planet as it is tasty.
