Colombia Finca Las Palmas | Co-Fermented - Blueberry
COLOMBIA FINCA LAS PALMAS | Blueberry
The Aromatic Icon.
Widely considered the "rockstar" of co-fermented profiles, this Blueberrry lot from Finca Las Palmas offers an olfactory experience unlike any other. It’s bold, jammy, and impossibly sweet.
The Origin Story
From the celebrated high-altitude slopes of Finca Las Palmas in Colombia comes this stunning Caturra selection. This lot undergoes a sophisticated Co-Fermented process, where the coffee is fermented in a controlled environment to encourage the development of deep, anthocyanin-like fruit esters. The result is a cup that doesn't just "hint" at fruit—it delivers a pure, unadulterated Blueberry essence. It is a testament to the advanced processing techniques that have made Colombian specialty coffee the most exciting in the world today.

Roast Philosophy
Our Blueberry Filter Roast is all about preservation. We use a gentle heat application to ensure the sugars don't over-caramelize, which would turn the "fresh berry" note into a "burnt sugar" note. By maintaining a light roast profile, we keep the acidity sparkling and the blueberry aromatics front and center from the first sniff to the final sip.

Degassing Advice (Expert Tip)
Because of the intensity of the blueberry esters, this coffee can be quite "loud" right off the roaster. For the most balanced and transparent flavor, we recommend resting these beans for 12 to 14 days. This allows the fermentation notes to mellow into a harmonious, jammy sweetness.
Brewing Guide
To highlight the "jammy" character of this bean, we recommend a slightly tighter ratio:
-
Ratio: 1:15 (e.g., 20g coffee to 300ml water)
-
Temperature: 93°C (199°F)
-
Total Brew Time: 2:45 – 3:15 minutes
Pro Tip: This coffee is a "chameleon." While it excels as a pour-over, it also makes a mind-blowing Modern Espresso. If you have an espresso machine at home, try a long "allonge" style shot to experience a concentrated blueberry bomb.
Experience the Legend. The Finca Las Palmas Blueberry is a must-try for any serious coffee enthusiast.
