Colombia Melone Candy from Kaffa Roastery is a bold and playful coffee roasted for drip brewing that captivates from the very first sip. The flavor profile features juicy notes of watermelon, raspberries, candy, bubblegum, and subtle mint. The cup is sweet, juicy, and highly aromatic, with lively fruity acidity and a long, fresh finish. An ideal choice for lovers of modern, experimental coffees that offer a surprise beyond classic flavor profiles.
The coffee comes from the Colombian regions of Huila, Tolima, and Caldas, where it is grown by smallholder farmers associated with the San Agustín Coffee Producers project. The cherries are hand-picked only when fully ripe and then sent for processing at El Vergel Estate, one of the most famous and innovative farms in Colombia. An altitude of around 1,750 meters above sea level and local conditions give the coffee high sweetness, distinctive aroma, and a clean flavor profile.
The Caturra and Colombia varieties undergo an experimental Honey & Co-Fermented with Fruits processing method here. First, whole cherries undergo anaerobic fermentation in sealed containers, followed by fermentation of the beans in the pulp using yeast and watermelon. This process significantly influences the resulting flavor profile, imparting the coffee’s characteristic sweet, candy-like notes and fruity juiciness. The subsequent slow drying helps preserve the purity of flavors and complexity. The result is a unique and unforgettable filter coffee for anyone who enjoys exploring new directions in the world of coffee.
