This coffee is from Granja El Paraíso-92 farm in Piendamó, Cauca, Colombia, grown at 1900 meters above sea level. The variety is Chiroso. The coffee undergoes a thermal shock process where cherries are handpicked at peak ripeness, sorted by size and density, sterilized with ozonated water and UV light, submerged in 90°C water to open pores and accentuate sweetness, then undergoes 62 hours of anaerobic fermentation in cherry with S-23 yeast added, and finally dried under temperature-controlled conditions for 88 hours. The flavor profile features herbal, floral, and citrusy characteristics with notes of lemongrass, spiced orange, peach tea, and powdered sugar sweetness.
Black & White is the realization of barista champions Kyle Ramage and Lem Butler’s ambition to democratize elite‑level coffee. They manage a dedicated roastery since 2017, roasting four days per week.
