This coffee is a Java variety grown by 14 family farms in the Palestina region of Huila, Colombia, at an altitude between 1600 and 2000 meters. The coffee undergoes a double fermentation and washed process, where cherries are fermented in bags before depulping, followed by a traditional open tank fermentation of the parchment. This process is designed to intensify sweetness and fruit clarity. The flavor profile features notes of grapefruit, mixed melons, and iris. It is a light roast suitable for various brewing methods, including espresso.
Nick and Charlie started S&W Craft Roasting as avid home roasters and built it into a focused, direct to consumer operation based in Coatesville, Indiana. The roastery is veteran owned and runs exclusively online with no brick and mortar retail, keeping the emphasis squarely on the coffee itself. All production goes through a refurbished 1993 Sasa Samiac drum roaster fitted with Agtron color control systems for precise, repeatable results. The catalog runs deep, with roughly 99 single origin varieties sourced from Ethiopia, India, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Colombia, China, and beyond. Their roasting philosophy prioritizes origin character over roast imprint, with no artificial flavorings, preservatives, or additives.
