This coffee is a regional community lot from San Pedro de Tutule in the Montecillos region of La Paz, Honduras, grown at an altitude of 1400 to 1700 meters. Produced by over five smallholder farmers, this coffee features the IHCAFE 90, Catuai, and Catimor varieties. It undergoes a natural process involving a 48–72 hour whole cherry fermentation followed by sun drying on raised beds for 15–18 days. The flavor profile is characterized by juicy notes of mango, blackberry chocolate cake, and a deep cacao finish.
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.
