This Sidra variety coffee is grown by Rafael Aya Martinez at his farm, La Virginia, located in the Timana region of Huila, Colombia. Cultivated at an altitude of 1880 meters, this coffee is processed using the washed method. It offers a vibrant flavor profile characterized by notes of fruit punch, jasmine, and watermelon. This offering reflects the dedication of the Aya family to sustainable farming and innovative production practices in the lush hills of Huila.
Vivid Coffee was founded in 2015 by Ian Bailey in Winooski, Vermont, initially roasting on a five kilo machine in the back of a local ice cream parlor. Bailey built the company around direct relationships with small farms, in some cases purchasing entire harvests year after year to provide producers with stability and predictability. The roasting style is clean and precise, designed to let each coffee's terroir speak without interference. Vivid's sourcing framework is values driven, shaped by the realities of climate change, coffee plant disease, and the global coffee price crisis that affect the producers it works with.
