Kandy Krush [2021]

This is special Finca Tamana coffee kandy. It’s the ultimate power-up kind that fulfils all of your Kandy Kingdom dreams. But it doesn’t come easily! It’s quite tricky to dry coffee cherries naturally in the high elevations of Huila, predominantly due to the regular rainfall and need for extended periods of sunshine. It’s challenging to control the fermentation, combined with the non-traditional flavour profiles and higher costs of production. Unless you have a committed buyer it’s just too risky to produce. When Diego snuck a cheeky trial sample of this coffee our way we had no option but to make a commitment to buying as much as they could produce. It blew our minds. With Commonfolk’s commitment, Diego confidently fermented whole Pink Bourbon (varietal) coffee cherries in an anaerobic environment for 100 hours, before drying them for 17 days. You can expect blackberry and cherry cola kandy flavours, with intense luxardo sweetness. We’ve committed to purchase more from the next harvest. We’re proud to be working directly with the Roa Campos family, importing ourselves with special thanks to Osito for their quality export services.
