This Geisha variety coffee is produced by Linarco Rodriguez at Finca Betania in the Huila region of Colombia. The coffee undergoes a white honey process, where cherries are depulping and then dried with a portion of the mucilage intact after a 48-hour aerobic oxidation period. The resulting cup features fruit-forward notes of apricot, peach, and strawberry, complemented by subtle hints of jasmine.
Prodigal Coffee marks the highly anticipated return of industry legend Scott Rao to the roasting game, setting up shop in Boulder, Colorado, to practice what he’s preached in his famous books. After years of consulting, the whole mission is to produce technically flawless roasts that lean unapologetically into lighter, modern profiles, aiming for high-acid, juicy cups. The sourcing is selective, focused only clean, high-scoring greens that can stand up to their data-driven quality control standards.
