This Colombia-origin coffee from La Plata, Huila is produced for Color Coffee Roasters. It is a Castillo+Caturra blend that undergoes a watermelon co-ferment processing, creating a bright, fruit-forward profile with notes of watermelon candy and fruit punch. The lot originates from producers in La Plata at elevations around 1,600–1,900 meters above sea level and is roasted Light. The Los Patios facility handles the processing, including the watermelon co-fermentation stage and drying.
Color Coffee Roasters is the brainchild of Charlie Gundlach, who turned his backyard roasting obsession into a legit operation in Eagle, Colorado, back in 2016. They’re pretty geeky about the science, hence the name Color, which links specific tasting notes to actual colors in a spectrum. Yet, they keep the vibe super chill and approachable for everyone while hunting for that perfect sweet spot on their energy-efficient Loring roaster to let the natural terroir really pop. Plus, they’re big on sustainability and transparency, so you can feel good about drinking a cup that’s as kind to the planet as it is tasty.
