Cherry Bomb Vol 3 - Colombia, Ildefonso Córdoba

About This Coffee

This coffee is from Bruselas, Huila, Colombia, produced by Ildefonso Córdoba at 1800 meters altitude. It features the Bourbon Ají variety, which is actually an Ethiopian landrace rather than a true Bourbon. The coffee undergoes a washed anaerobic process with a 60-hour whole cherry fermentation followed by a 70-hour fermentation of pulped seeds in sealed barrels. The lot showcases layered fruit and floral aromas with lasting sweetness and complex characteristics. Tasting notes include strawberry rhubarb jam, earl grey tea, and peach. The producer is part of Los Guácharos, a group of quality-oriented producers, and serves as the group's seed guru.

Rooftop Coffee Roasters

Taking its name from the rooftop location where the founders first started roasting, this husband and wife operation launched in 2016 in Kelowna's Pandosy Village with a second location serving downtown. They roast on a Probat in small batches, producing medium profiles that emphasize sweetness and balance across origins from Colombia, Guatemala, Ethiopia, Brazil, Costa Rica, and Honduras. The Okanagan Valley setting shapes the brand's identity, with lakeside vibes and outdoor patio seating making it as much a destination as a roastery. A wholesale program supplies local cafes and restaurants, and the team actively supports Okanagan producers and community events. Seasonal releases and a subscription service keep the coffee offering aligned with the region's relaxed, outdoor lifestyle.
