Origin Highlight
Colombia Sidra
Colombia Sidra
A feature of this blend is a Sidra from Edwin Norena’s farm, Campo Hermoso, just outside of Quindio.
Cherries are selectively harvested when their sugar concentrations go beyond 24 Brix before being soaked in water for three hours. The cherries then undergo their initial anaerobic cherry fermentation process using “Mossto”, a technique similar to those used by winemakers whereby crushed coffee cherry pulp is added to influence the fermentation.
Edwin is literally adding extra coffee juices and selected microbes from a previous fermentation batch of the same cherries.
Roasting
Capabilities
Capabilities
We blend Edwin’s beans with the Brazil, Sumatran and other Colombian origin and measure for moisture. We adjust the temperature and roasting time on our 300kg Probat R1500 drum roasters. It’s a slower process compared to air roasting, but it’s a more controlled method that allows us to achieve a consistent roast profile to bring out the vibrant flavours in this specialty blend.
Our roasting process includes 23 steps measuring a range of critical variables before, during and after the roasting process. Our latest addition to our quality lab is the Metrohm Omnis system, the only one in Australia, which allows us to scientifically analyse coffee for acidity, pH, density, brix, total dissolved solids, and caffeine levels. By combining these precise measurements with our sensory testing, we gain a comprehensive understanding of this blend’s unique profile.

- Linda P.Verified BuyerReviewingLab Release - Blend No. 58 BeansI recommend this productI Typically Drink My Coffee... With MilkRated 5 out of 5 stars7/8/24I will be trying more lab release blends,yum.
I usually can't taste the flavours that the tasting notes say you will be able to taste. However, with this blend I can taste raspberries and maple syrup. It is a very tasty blend, quite mild and well rounded.
- Anthony l.Verified BuyerReviewingLab Release - Blend No. 58 BeansI do not recommend this productI Typically Drink My Coffee... With MilkRated 1 out of 5 stars7/1/24Not nice
It was very bitter had no crema. One friend said it made them feel sick, my wife hated it.
I tried it with milk and black, it was just an unpleasant coffee.
- David T.Verified BuyerReviewingLab Release - Blend No. 58 BeansI Typically Drink My Coffee... With MilkRated 3 out of 5 stars6/23/24Expected better
This was ordered as the coffee is meant to be roasted locally - so I expected it to be fresh (we only live 10 minutes away).
However when I received it, not only did the package NOT have a "roasted on" date (as I had hoped) but it didn't even have a Use By date (like you'd see in the supermarket offerings).
Not happy Jan. Overall, the coffee is quite mild. Not for me.
