COLOMBIA FINCA LAS PALMAS | Coconut

The Ultimate Tropical Escape.

Forget everything you know about coffee. This Caturra lot from Finca Las Palmas is a masterclass in co-fermentation, delivering a creamy, sun-drenched profile that tastes exactly like a tropical holiday.

The Origin Story

Deep in the high-altitude regions of Colombia, Finca Las Palmas is redefining "experimental." By utilizing a Co-Fermented process—where coffee cherries are fermented alongside natural coconut extracts or specific lactic-acid-producing cultures—they’ve managed to infuse the bean with a stunningly clear Coconut identity. This isn't just a subtle hint; it’s a bold, deliberate transformation of the Caturra variety into something entirely new. It’s a collector's piece for those who chase the most exotic profiles in the specialty world.

Bean Identity

Roast Philosophy

To protect the delicate, creamy aromatics of the coconut, we apply a Precise Light Roast. This "Fruity Filter" approach ensures we don't introduce smoky or roasty notes that would clash with the tropical sweetness. The goal is a clean, transparent cup that highlights the advanced processing techniques used at the farm.

Sensory Profile Deep Dive

A vibrant and silky cup that challenges the definition of coffee.

• Aroma: Instant hits of toasted coconut, vanilla bean, and a touch of sweet pineapple.

• Body: Exceptionally creamy and round. It has a "weight" on the palate that feels like drinking coconut milk.

• Acidity: Mild and balanced; a soft, lactic acidity that keeps the cup refreshing rather than sharp.

• Notes: Pure Coconut Cream, white chocolate, and a silky vanilla finish.

• Finish: Clean, sweet, and lingering, like the aftertaste of a high-end tropical dessert.

Degassing Advice (Expert Tip)

Experimental co-fermented beans are structurally dense. To let that coconut profile truly shine without any carbon dioxide interference, we recommend resting this coffee for 10 to 14 days after the roast date.

Brewing Guide

We recommend a pour-over method to emphasize the creamy mouthfeel and aromatic clarity:

• Ratio: 1:15 (e.g., 20g coffee to 300ml water)

• Temperature: 92°C (198°F)

• Total Brew Time: 2:30 – 3:00 minutes

Pro Tip: This coffee is also incredible as a Flash-Chilled Iced Coffee. The coconut notes become even more pronounced when served over ice, making it the perfect summer refresher.

Note: VAT Included.
