This Ecuadorian coffee from Orlando Rosillo’s Espindola, Loja farm is a clean-washed lot with a bright, juicy finish. It undergoes a 32-hour fermentation in tanks before washing and drying on raised beds for 15–19 days at about 1,550 meters. The blend features Criollo, Typica, Catimor, and Catucaí varieties, and offers honeycrisp apple, red fruit leather, lemon cake, and brown sugar notes with a light roast profile.

Color Coffee Roasters is the brainchild of Charlie Gundlach, who turned his backyard roasting obsession into a legit operation in Eagle, Colorado, back in 2016. They’re pretty geeky about the science, hence the name Color, which links specific tasting notes to actual colors in a spectrum. Yet, they keep the vibe super chill and approachable for everyone while hunting for that perfect sweet spot on their energy-efficient Loring roaster to let the natural terroir really pop. Plus, they’re big on sustainability and transparency, so you can feel good about drinking a cup that’s as kind to the planet as it is tasty.
