What's in the bag at the moment? - 

AURORA has a distinct grape-like flavour with floral notes of jasmine and a velvety smooth body. It’s a real flavour bomb! 

This coffee is produced by the world renown Jhoan Vergara at his family run farm, Las Flores, in Huila, Colombia. The family has been producing coffee at the farm since 1990 where Jhoan developed a special interest in experimental coffee processing.  This coffee is a washed tartaric, which means it goes through an anaerobic fermentation twice before being washed to remove any remaining mucialage. This results in an incredibley pronounced grape-like profile that we can’t get enough of!
