ABOUT THIS COFFEE AND PRODUCER

From Cata Exports:

Our family business, Zarza Coffee, is a third-generation coffee-growing legacy rooted in the mountains of Bruselas, Huila, Colombia. Known as the "Coffee Capital," this region has inspired our journey of innovation in coffee commercialization, emphasizing traceability, quality, and differentiation in global markets. The name "Zarza" connects to our family surname, Gasca, representing our unity and the success of our efforts in producing and exporting exceptional coffee. Beyond coffee, we have also embraced beekeeping, adding value to our production. Since founding Zarza Coffee in 2022, we have faced many challenges, yet we have remained dedicated to refining every step of our process, from selection to fermentation and oxidation. Our dream is to share our coffee and family story with the world, ensuring that every cup tells a tale of passion, tradition, and excellence.

This coffee underwent 48 hours of oxidation in a double fermentation thermal shock processing, finishing as a washed coffee.

WHY WE SELECTED THIS COFFEE

We’re back with one of our favorite producers, Zarza Coffee. We’ve loved their coffees in the past, and this lot is something special. It’s a Pink Bourbon varietal that went through 48 hours of oxidation in a double fermentation, finished with thermal shock processing, and washed.

The result? A super fun, tropical cup. You’ll taste passionfruit and lychee, with a smooth, candy-like sweetness that reminds us of tropical Hi-Chews. The thermal shock adds a creamy, milky texture that makes this coffee stand out in a really playful way.

What makes it shine is the balance—there’s enough of that process-driven character to keep things exciting, but it never goes overboard.

This is Zarza showing off what they do best: thoughtful processing and big flavor in the cup.
