Colombia El Placer is a single-origin Geisha variety coffee from Finca El Placer in Acevedo, Huila, Colombia, grown at 1,750 meters elevation by producer Jesús Arbey Iquira. The coffee undergoes an innovative thermal shock anaerobic washed process: cherries are floated for selection, fermented anaerobically in sealed vats for 36 hours, then pulped and fermented again with water and yeast for 36 hours, thermally shocked with cold water, washed, and dried in a solar dryer for 20 days. The cup presents juicy tropical flavors of mango and coconut with floral and aromatic notes of lemongrass, eucalyptus, and jasmine, with bright acidity and distinct floral aroma.
Brothers Daniel Jackson and Corie Sutherland launched Edition Roasters in Sydney as a fusion of Nordic and Japanese coffee and food culture. Both are veterans of the cafe and coffee world, and the friendship they struck up with Rene Redzepi and the Noma team during the restaurant's Sydney residency speaks to the culinary ambition behind the project. Edition follows an omni roasting philosophy, developing profiles that allow each coffee to perform across espresso, filter, and everything in between. Their focus is on micro lot producers and new world processing methods, resulting in fruit forward, tea like, lighter roast profiles.
