This washed coffee is from El Roble, San Agustin, Huila, Colombia, grown by producer Yivier Quinayas on his farm La Falda at 1,950-2,000 meters elevation. The Caturra variety is processed with a 24-hour cherry fermentation, followed by 36-hour tank fermentation after depulping, then dried for 18-22 days. The cup delivers black plum and wild grape with lemon zest brightness and toffee sweetness, with a full, plush body. Medium-light roast.
Have Fun Coffee was founded in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, by Sonny and Luke Adamski as a sister operation to their established Good Luck Cafe. The roastery takes a deliberately accessible approach to specialty coffee, rejecting the solemnity that sometimes surrounds the craft in favor of straightforward enjoyment. Roasting is precise, using Cropster software with three thermocouples for exact temperature monitoring, and sourcing is ethically driven with a rotating seasonal lineup. Have Fun is a roaster that pairs professional rigor with an easygoing attitude, proving that taking coffee seriously and having fun doing it are not mutually exclusive.
