This coffee is a washed field blend from Colombia, sourced from smallholder farmers across the regions of Bucaramanga, Armenia, Pereira, Medellín, Bogotá, Popayán, and Neiva. Grown at an altitude of 1200-1600 meters, it features the Caturra, Castillo, Cenicafe 1, and Colombia varieties. The beans undergo the Swiss Water decaffeination process. The flavor profile is characterized by notes of marshmallow, chocolate chips, and orange marmalade, offering a sweet, rounded, and comforting medium roast experience suitable for both espresso and filter brewing.
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.
