This coffee is a honey-processed Castillo variety from smallholder farmers in the Popayán region of Cauca, Colombia, grown at an altitude between 1740 and 2080 meters. The coffee is processed by Banexport using controlled fermentation in bioreactors. It features a rich flavor profile with notes of hazelnut, chocolate liqueur, and cherry jam. This medium-roast coffee is designed to be a versatile, everyday drinker that performs exceptionally well as an espresso, offering a balanced, sweet, and punchy cup.
Founded in 2020 at the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic, Moonwake Coffee Roasters emerged from the passion of two former tech engineers, Ming Wood from Tesla and Mabel Yeung from Meta. What began as Ming's personal coffee project within Tesla's internal coffee club evolved into a full roastery operation after both founders chose to leave their tech careers to pursue coffee full time between 2023 and 2024. Moonwake represents a growing movement of technologists who discovered that coffee roasting offers greater fulfillment than their previous careers, channeling engineering precision into specialty coffee.
