This Colombia from Concept Coffee Roasters is like a dessert in a cup – from the first sip, you are enveloped by the sweetness of wild strawberries, the delicate exoticism of lychee, and the creamy smoothness of vanilla. A hint of cake adds a finishing touch, rounding out the composition and giving it a nostalgic, warming feel. The result is a balanced and playful profile that will delight anyone who loves fruity and sweet coffees with unusual depth.
This unique lot comes from the El Mirador farm in the Huila region, run by Elkin Guzman, a producer whose family has been growing coffee for over 70 years, the last 12 of which have been spent with an intense focus on innovation in processing. The 32-hectare farm grows mainly exotic varieties such as Geisha, Mokka, Pink Bourbon, and Catiope—the latter, a cross between Caturra and an Ethiopian landrace, is known for its high quality and excellent adaptation to advanced fermentation methods. With a cupping score of 88 points and grown at an altitude of 1,550–1,750 meters above sea level, this coffee offers a cup that combines an innovative approach to fermentation, an exotic variety, and the character of the Huila terroir.
The Natural Strawberry processing is the result of a precisely controlled fermentation process lasting a total of 330 hours. After careful hand selection, the coffee cherries are placed in plastic containers, where they undergo a 60-hour pre-fermentation to activate microorganisms. A special "sourdough" culture is then added, followed by another 270 hours of controlled co-fermentation. After this process is complete, the coffee is slowly dried in the sun to develop its distinctive sweetness and fullness of flavor. This is a coffee that smells like a summer garden and tastes like a gourmet dessert—perfect for moments when you want to treat yourself to something special.
