About This Coffee

This coffee is a single-origin lot from producer Cecilia Osorio Perdomo, grown in Timaná, Huila, Colombia, at an altitude of 1,400 meters. The coffee is of the Chiroso variety and is processed using the honey method, where a measured amount of mucilage is left on the bean during drying. This process results in a flavor profile featuring notes of mulberry jam, black currant, and kumquat. The coffee is carefully hand-harvested and dried on raised beds or patios for 12–18 days to ensure clarity and balance.

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.
