Sweet Teddy from Colombia by Rocket Bean is a coffee that tastes like a dessert full of joy, yet remains beautifully clean and balanced. The first thing you notice in the cup is a delicious raspberry jam that tastes juicy and sweet. Underneath, notes of chocolate truffles and bonbons gradually open up, giving the coffee richness and sweetness. The aftertaste is like cranberry cream —smooth, slightly tart, and pleasantly fruity. The overall impression is sweet, aromatic, and multi-layered, ideal for anyone who likes distinctive and flavorful filter coffees.
This coffee comes from the Huila region in southwestern Colombia, one of the most prized and highest quality areas for growing select Arabica beans in the world. Huila is renowned for its high altitude, fertile soil, and ideal climatic conditions, which help the coffee cherries ripen slowly and develop a complex aroma. Sweet Teddy is made from Caturra and Chiroso varieties, where each cherry is hand-picked and carefully selected so that only the best goes into processing. This attention to detail and quality is clearly evident in the cup – the flavor is layered, clean, and with a subtle acidity that allows the sweet and fruity tones to shine through.
The coffee is processed using the natural method, fermented together with cocoa and raspberries, which adds extra fruity depth and sweetness to the final profile. During fermentation, the pulp and skins are left on the beans and slowly dried in the sun, allowing complex aromatic substances to enter the beans. The natural process acts as a catalyst for sweet and fruity tones, which manifest themselves in the cup as raspberry jam and cranberry cream, without any unwanted overly fermented tones.
