This coffee is produced by Luis Jose Valdes at Finca La Cristalina in the Caldas region of Colombia, at an altitude of 1650 meters. It is a blend of Caturra, Castillo, and Bourbon varieties. The coffee undergoes a natural process, beginning with an 18-hour fermentation followed by 20 days of controlled drying in an oven-style dryer to ensure even moisture levels. This process preserves the sweet, fruity, and complex flavor profile of the beans.
Founded by Curtis Zimmerman, a former international bicycle racer who discovered Nordic coffee culture during his travels through Europe, Presta Coffee emerged in 2012 with a coffee cart before establishing itself as a roastery in 2014. Operating using a 15kg Joper Roaster with the belief that "coffee is meant to be shared," Presta has served Tucson for over a decade with a philosophy rooted in integrity and passion.
