This coffee is a Tabi variety from Finca Anaya, located in the Huila region of Colombia at 1600 meters altitude. Produced by Sergio Aranda Gomez, this lot undergoes a complex experimental process involving flotation, oxidation, and anaerobic fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast, cinnamon sticks, and sugarcane, followed by a thermal shock wash and 12 days of drying. The flavor profile is characterized by notes of coconut flakes, pineapple cake, and strawberry milkshake, offering a bright, pastry-like sweetness with a soft, creamy texture.
Founded in 2020 at the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic, Moonwake Coffee Roasters emerged from the passion of two former tech engineers, Ming Wood from Tesla and Mabel Yeung from Meta. What began as Ming's personal coffee project within Tesla's internal coffee club evolved into a full roastery operation after both founders chose to leave their tech careers to pursue coffee full time between 2023 and 2024. Moonwake represents a growing movement of technologists who discovered that coffee roasting offers greater fulfillment than their previous careers, channeling engineering precision into specialty coffee.
