Colombia SUGAR RUSH, from the Belgian roaster Boo!, is exactly what its name promises: a sweet explosion of flavors that will instantly put you in the Halloween mood. This Sidra from the El Diviso farm in the Pitalito region of Huila tastes like a handful of candies poured straight into your cup, with cherry jelly, strawberry strips, and Sour Patch Kids coming together in an incredibly playful and juicy combination. The coffee has a full, syrupy body and lively fruitiness that is perfect for cold October mornings and late evenings. It's not "just" an everyday coffee, it's Halloween in drink form, created for those who aren't afraid of exceptional flavors.
Behind the El Diviso project are Nestor and Adrian Lasso and Jhoan Vergara , who have combined their family farms and, together with Cata Export, created a space for experimentation and precision processing. Their approach combines science, passion, and tremendous attention to detail. Thanks to this, their coffees have gained international recognition and awards from Brewers Cup competitions. Sidra from El Diviso is an example of a modern approach to fermentation and proof that Colombian coffee can be as wild as it is unforgettable.
This lot underwent a unique natural fermentation with controlled oxidation, which enhances the sweetness and complexity of the flavor. After hand-picking the ripest cherries, they underwent 36 hours of oxidation at 25°C, followed by 24 hours of anaerobic fermentation in closed containers at 16-18°C. Drying took place in dehumidification chambers at up to 45°C, after which the coffee rested for 60 hours to stabilize its structure and aroma. The result is an intense, sweet, and playful coffee with a perfect balance between fruitiness and fullness—simply SUGAR RUSH as it should be.
