About This Coffee

This coffee is from Finca La Primavera farm in Circasia, Quindío, Colombia, produced by Ana María Donneys at 1,450 meters above sea level. The coffee features Pink Bourbon and Caturra varieties processed using a Honey Anaerobic method. The process involves a 96-hour anaerobic fermentation in cherry followed by pulping and an additional 24-hour fermentation, with inoculation of lactobacillus and yeast consortium from the University of Quindío laboratory. This controlled fermentation creates aromatic complexity with flavor notes of strawberry yogurt, magnolia, pink lady apple, and papaya finish.

Little Waves Coffee Roasters

Little Waves Coffee Roasters grew out of Cocoa Cinnamon, a café founded in 2010 by Areli Barrera Grodski and Leon Grodski Barrera in the North Carolina mountains before the couple relocated to Durham in 2011. The dedicated roasting arm launched in June 2017 at the Lakewood location, using a Loring S15 Falcon that cuts energy consumption by 80 percent compared to conventional roasters. Little Waves is a Latina led, women forward company that prioritizes sourcing from women producers and farmers of color, maintaining multi year relationships built on fair pricing and mutual investment. In 2022, Roast Magazine named Little Waves its Micro Roaster of the Year, and co founder Areli was selected as a 2025 Sprudge Twenty honoree. The roastery was also featured in the Omnivore Apple TV docuseries, bringing wider attention to its model of equitable specialty coffee.
