This coffee is a Colombia-origin bean from La Esmeralda Farm in Acevedo, Huila. The Papayo variety is grown at 1650-1780 masl and processed Honey. The lot is noted for bright, clean fruit flavors developed through partial mucilage retention and shaded drying over ~25 days, contributing to a nuanced sweet and fruity cup.
Founded in 2020 by Tong Zhang in Chengdu, this micro-specialty roastery emerged from an unexpected journey—a robotics engineer's transformation into coffee artisan after discovering specialty coffee in Paris. Zhang, who placed third in the French Brewers Cup in his first year as a barista, brings technical precision to every roast, using Stronghold S7Pro machines to highlight the unique terroir of each coffee through light profiles that express origin, climate, soil, and the people behind each bean.
