This coffee is a blend of Caturra and Colombia varieties grown at 1,750 meters in the Huila, Tolima, and Caldas regions of Colombia. Processed at El Vergel Estate, the beans undergo a unique honey process involving anaerobic pre-fermentation and co-fermentation with yeast and watermelon. The coffee is decaffeinated using the Swiss Water process, which preserves flavor integrity. The resulting cup offers a distinctive profile with tasting notes of watermelon, candy, mint, bubblegum, raspberry, and citric acid.
Founded by Curtis Zimmerman, a former international bicycle racer who discovered Nordic coffee culture during his travels through Europe, Presta Coffee emerged in 2012 with a coffee cart before establishing itself as a roastery in 2014. Operating using a 15kg Joper Roaster with the belief that "coffee is meant to be shared," Presta has served Tucson for over a decade with a philosophy rooted in integrity and passion.
