This coffee is produced by Augusto Ortega at Finca Asturias in San Agustín, Colombia, at an altitude of 1640–1670 meters. It features the SL28 variety, which was first planted on the farm in 2019. The coffee undergoes a meticulous process involving peak ripeness picking, a 14-hour drain, 36-hour dry fermentation in oak tanks, and a 20-day shade drying period on raised beds. The flavor profile is complex and refreshing, characterized by notes of deep red grenadine, punchy citric kumquat, and an effervescent orangina finish.
Based in Philadelphia, Poem Coffee Roasters operates as a tiny boutique roasting company dedicated to ultra small batch production at the highest level. Their entire production schedule revolves around a single roasting day each week, with all coffees roasted to order exclusively on Tuesdays. This practice allows them to capture seasonally sourced specialty beans that reflect fleeting points in time, creating a limited and intentional coffee experience that celebrates the unique characteristics of each harvest.
