The result is berry at full volume: blackberry jam, blueberry and purple grape stacked one on the next, closing on a soft peach yogurt lactic note. If light-roast Ethiopians feel too restrained to you, this is the other end of the spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0 0 24px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 21px; margin: 0 0 14px; color: #5e4905;\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 18px 16px; border: 1px solid #e7ddcc; border-radius: 12px; background: #fff;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; color: #5e4905; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eBlackberry Jam · Blueberry · Purple Grape · Mixed Berries · Peach Yogurt\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #666;\"\u003eBlackberry and purple grape hit the moment you open the bag — nothing here needs hunting for. The cup leads with a dense blackberry jam sweetness, blueberry and mixed berry brightness builds the middle, and it resolves into a soft peach yogurt lactic finish that pulls the sugar clean. The medium-light roast keeps the fruit intensity while stopping the ferment character from turning sharp.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #3b2f1f; color: #fff; border-radius: 14px; padding: 22px 18px; margin: 0 0 24px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 13px; letter-spacing: 1.4px; color: #d5b675; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eON CO-FERMENTATION\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 21px; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0 0 10px; color: #fff;\"\u003eWe'd Rather Spell It Out\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 12px; font-size: 15px; color: #e3e3e3;\"\u003eCo-fermentation means adding a natural ingredient — here, blackberries — into the fermentation tank with the coffee cherry. The yeasts and bacteria metabolise sugars from both at once, creating new compounds that the bean takes up. This is not the same thing as flavoured coffee, where oils or essences are sprayed on after roasting. Nothing has been added to this coffee after processing; everything in the cup came from the ferment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 15px; color: #e3e3e3;\"\u003eThe practice divides specialty coffee. Critics argue it amplifies processing at the expense of terroir, and SCA-sanctioned competitions currently don't accept co-fermented lots. Where the industry does agree is on disclosure: if you do it, say so. So we've put the full process on the label and on this page. If what you want is pure origin character, this probably isn't your cup. If you want to taste fruit pushed as far as coffee can take it, here it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0 0 24px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 21px; margin: 0 0 14px; color: #5e4905;\"\u003eNariño: Colombia's Highest-Grown Coffee\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 12px; font-size: 15px; color: #5e5546;\"\u003eNariño sits in Colombia's southwest, in the Andes near the Ecuadorian border, and is among the highest coffee-growing regions in the country. Galeras, one of the world's most active volcanoes, sits within the region and has left the soil exceptionally fertile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 12px; font-size: 15px; color: #5e5546;\"\u003eThere's a geographic quirk at work too: Nariño lies almost on the equator, so daylight hours barely vary across the year — around 1,666 hours annually. Combined with altitude that keeps temperatures steady between 16 and 25°C, cherries ripen slowly in cool, consistent conditions, which is where the firm acidity and solid sweetness come from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 15px; color: #5e5546;\"\u003eFarms here are the smallest in Colombia — the great majority under three hectares, almost all smallholder-run.
