Orange Bourbon variety from Huila, Colombia at 1600 meters elevation, grown by Sergio Aranda Gomez at Finca Anaya. Orange Washed process involving 48-hour pre-fermentation with yeasts and orange, followed by 40-hour fermentation at 40°C in 200-liter tanks, and 10-15 day traditional drying. Light roast with tasting notes of mimosa, Sunny D, and lavender. A fruit-forward, experimental coffee with funky fermented character.
Founded in 2020 at the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic, Moonwake Coffee Roasters emerged from the passion of two former tech engineers, Ming Wood from Tesla and Mabel Yeung from Meta. What began as Ming's personal coffee project within Tesla's internal coffee club evolved into a full roastery operation after both founders chose to leave their tech careers to pursue coffee full time between 2023 and 2024. Moonwake represents a growing movement of technologists who discovered that coffee roasting offers greater fulfillment than their previous careers, channeling engineering precision into specialty coffee.
