Dedicated to the shade dubbed Peach Fuzz, now known as the 2024 Colour of the Year, this coffee has been processed in an absolutely unique manner called peach co-fermentation. Are you one of those people who tend to struggle to really feel the tasting notes indicated on the packaging of your coffee? Well, you can trust us on this one: this particular coffee is guaranteed to be an exception. Due to the special processing method, the cuppa, once brewed, reveals natural flavours of peach nectar, exotic mangoes and sweet caramel. Sipping on a beverage like this can really make you wonder whether it’s truly coffee you’re drinking!
This limited-edition coffee has reached us all the way from the Colombian region of Huila, where the “Monteblanco” coffee estate is located. The owner of the estate, Rodrigo Sanchez, has been experimenting with innovative processing methods for years now, looking to create truly unparalleled flavours. He’s had great success at it too: Rodrigo’s efforts have been recognised with a number of awards!
Unique processing method: peach co-fermentation.
Processing coffee by adding fruit into the mix is a relatively novel invention, which has piqued the curiosity of thousands of coffee lovers worldwide already and has delighted hundreds of palates. How is it done, you wonder?
Rodrigo Sanchez has selected the arabica varietals of Bourbon and Caturra for this particular blend, all thanks to their versatility and bright, natural sweetness. It is this sweetness that creates the perfect conditions for various microorganisms, such as lactobacillus and saccharomyces cerevisiae, to do their job during the process of fermentation.
Before the processing begins, these microorganisms (obtained from the coffee plants growing right there on the estate) are mixed with peaches, other tropical fruits, and fruit nectar. This fruity solution is then left to ferment for 8 days until the right concentration of Brix degrees and the required pH value are both obtained.
Carefully handpicked, the coffee is then mixed with the nectar solution and kept in a closed container for 150 hours. The Brix degrees and the pH value continue to be monitored throughout the process, ensuring that the right conditions are maintained for the sweetness and notes of tropical fruit to develop.
The beans are finally sun-dried until the ideal moisture content of 10–11% is achieved, and then they’re off to get roasted!

This coffee is free of artificial flavours. Its unique taste is an all-natural occurrence, which comes about as a result of green coffee beans being processed with the help of a special solution containing peaches, tropical fruit, nectar and special microorganisms obtained by coffee farmers (you’ll find more details in the e-shop description of this extraordinary coffee).
Nowadays, coffee farmers are constantly on the lookout for new, unique processing methods capable of bringing certain flavours to the forefront or even creating them from scratch. Fermentation is one of the latest trends: it involves processing green coffee beans with the help of a variety of microorganisms. Leading the way in coffee fermentation is Rodrigo Sanchez, a prominent coffee farmer whose work has been widely recognised by coffee connoisseurs. While this processing method is still considered to be experimental, it’s been growing in popularity all around the world lately.
This coffee boasts sweet notes of tropical fruit brought about by a unique processing method called peach co-fermentation. Different brewing techniques will result in distinct levels of sweetness, so feel free to experiment and discover the one that works for you!
This coffee is marked by a medium grind and roast, which makes it suited for all filter coffee makers and pour-over drippers, as well as simple in-cup preparation. It’s equally delicious whether served hot or cold! Different brewing tools will uncover distinct flavours, so feel free to experiment and explore the unique flavour palette of this extraordinary coffee.
We’re absolutely certain that you will! What makes us so sure, you wonder? Well, regular specialty coffees are usually marked by subtle flavours. While you will find certain notes indicated on the packaging, they’re often very delicate, which means that some people can’t quite taste or identify them. This coffee is different though! The flavours in it have been brought about by a unique processing method that involves co-fermenting green coffee beans with peaches and other tropical fruits, so it’s brimming with vivid fruitiness. P.S. Every time we brew a cuppa at our store or in our office, we see a bunch of coffee lovers rushing towards it and asking for a sip… We can’t wait for you to try it too: make sure to let us know what you think once you’ve done that!

Other coffees like this one are usually too acidic for my taste, but this one’s very subtle, you can feel some light bitterness too.

So fruity and fragrant! No need for sweets alongside your coffee, it’s sweet enough all by itself.
