This refined Christmas limited edition from the Latvian roaster Rocket Bean brings the warm atmosphere of the festive season to your cup. It's like returning to childhood, when the world slowed down and every moment was filled with anticipation and quiet joy. The roasters have captured the magic of winter mornings and quiet evenings by candlelight – a delicate, festive harmony that accompanies the entire Advent season. The result is a balanced and layered flavor profile with notes of apple pie, candied almonds, cinnamon, and mandarin, complemented by a smooth, clean, yet complex texture in the cup. This coffee is an invitation to pause, take a breath, and let yourself be carried away by the gentle poetry of Christmas.
The coffee comes from Peru and Colombia. The Colombian part comes from the Quindío region, the heart of the coffee triangle, where the combination of a mountain climate and rich volcanic soils promotes the development of distinctly sweet and aromatic coffees. The Peruvian component comes from the Cajamarca region, known for its high-altitude farms, cooler nights, and slow ripening of cherries, which gives the coffee clarity and elegant fruitiness. Both regions focus on varieties such as Caturra and Catuai Amarillo, whose potential excels at high altitudes, specifically between 1,800 and 2,100 meters above sea level. Harvesting is done exclusively by hand to ensure that only perfectly ripe cherries are selected, which is reflected in the overall purity and complexity of the resulting flavor profile.
To achieve an exceptional flavor profile, this coffee was processed using a combination of two precise methods. First, it underwent honey processing enriched with cinnamon infusion – the beans were dried with part of the pulp, which allowed the sweet and aromatic components to penetrate their structure, and the subtle presence of cinnamon added delicate spicy nuances to the coffee. This was followed by a washed process, in which the coffee was thoroughly cleaned with water and then dried, which enhanced its purity, clarity, and harmony of flavor.
