This coffee from the Canadian roaster Sorellina Coffee is perfect for those moments when you want something a little out of the ordinary in your cup. Madman Vol. 2 Flower Power is distinctly floral and aromatic, with intense notes of jasmine, fresh green apple, and a sweetness reminiscent of cane sugar. Sweet marshmallow notes also emerge in the flavor, giving the cup a slightly candy-like character. The coffee is also juicy, with a more pronounced acidity and a long, intensely floral aftertaste. The name “Flower Power” alone perfectly captures its character—you definitely won’t miss the floral notes in the cup. It’s one of those coffees that stands out distinctly from traditional flavor profiles and is worth trying precisely because of its unusual aroma.
The coffee is produced by Frank Torres, and the lot comes from the Hachi, Finca Nogales, and Campos Hermoso farms. The coffee is a blend of Caturra and Bourbon Aji varieties, and its origin is listed as Colombia and Panama. It is precisely the combination of different farms and varieties, along with experimental processing, that gives rise to such a distinctive and unconventional profile.
Processing takes place as a natural anaerobic process. The coffee cherries ferment without exposure to air and are then dried along with their pulp. This processing method helps bring out the coffee’s pronounced sweetness, fruitiness, and aroma. The result is a cup with higher acidity, a juicy body, and a long floral aftertaste, in which notes of jasmine, green apple, sweet candies, and marshmallow gradually alternate.
