This coffee is a Gesha variety from Finca La Pradera, located in Santa María, Huila, Colombia, at an altitude of 2,050 meters. Managed by the Cuellar brothers, this lot is processed using a washed method that includes a 24-hour whole cherry fermentation, followed by depulping and an additional 48–52 hour fermentation, with a small amount of mucilage retained. The flavor profile is vibrant and expressive, featuring notes of apricot, pomegranate, key lime pie, and florals, with a light roast level and refined, elegant body.
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.
