This coffee is a Pacamara variety from the Huila region of Colombia, grown at an altitude of 1550 to 1800 meters. It undergoes a complex thermal shock washed process, involving 60 hours of sealed fermentation, followed by another 60 hours of fermentation with must and leachates, and a final hot and cold water quench. The flavor profile is vibrant and fruity, featuring notes of raspberry, hibiscus, and vanilla, with a light roast level.
Established in 2013 through the merger of three independent coffee companies united by shared values of equality, quality, and fairness throughout the supply chain, Messenger Coffee Company operates from a historic 1919 Kansas City building. The company's flagship four story facility at Grand Boulevard houses a full scale roasting operation, cupping lab, café, and grain mill, creating a complete ecosystem for specialty coffee. Messenger demonstrates that successful coffee roasting emerges from values driven collaboration, combining rigorous sourcing practices with a commitment to serving the entire supply chain equitably.
