Introducing Heartbeats, an exceptional coffee from the iconic London roastery Dark Arts Coffee, based in Hackney. From the very first sip, this coffee will captivate you with its complex and playful flavor profile, which blends the sweetness of milk candies with the subtle elegance of oolong tea and deep notes of molasses. It is the ideal choice for lovers of modern-style coffees who seek clarity and harmony in their cup—a balance between pronounced sweetness and the delicate texture that is characteristic of this roastery.
The beans come from the renowned Colombian region of Antioquia, specifically from the El Jaragual farm, where experienced producer Jorge Mira oversees cultivation. This lot of the unique Rosado J-07 variety grows at an altitude of 1,500 meters above sea level, which gives the coffee its characteristic density and depth of flavor. Jorge Mira focuses on precision farming and top-quality cherries, which, combined with the unique terroir, creates a raw material representing the best of modern Colombian production.
Processing is carried out using a sophisticated washed method with thermal shock to achieve maximum flavor clarity. The entire process begins with the careful harvesting of cherries at 90% ripeness, followed by oxidation, fermentation, and drying. This innovative thermal shock technique helps lock in the aromatic compounds within the bean, resulting in an exceptionally clean cup with clearly defined flavor layers and an unmistakable character that reflects technological advancements in the world of specialty coffee.
