This single-origin coffee is from Cruzpata, Puno, Peru, produced by Vilma Chambi Apaza. The farm spans 3 hectares at 1600-1800 meters above sea level, planted with Bourbon and Caturra varieties. After harvest, ripe cherries are fermented for approximately 18 hours in cement tanks, then washed clean of mucilage before drying on raised beds or patios for 12-15 days. The coffee features flavor notes of dried plum, caramel apple, brown sugar, apple cider, cherry, red apple, and floral hints with soft coffee blossom florals. It is light roasted.

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.
