ABOUT THE COFFEE

Behind this wild ride is Elmer Restrepo, a legend from Chinchiná, Caldas. Nearly four decades ago he started with hard labor at a processing station—milling, sorting, drying—where he learned the foundations of coffee processing. Today he runs his own farm, El Renacer, where every step of processing is dialed in to perfection.

I chose a Colombian SL28, a super fruity and vibrant variety that already promises a party for your taste buds. On top of that, we add ginger co-fermentation. In short: we prepare microbes (Lactobacillus and Saccharomyces), feed them ginger and a bit of panela (a fancy kind of sugar), add freshly harvested cherries, and let everything ferment for 72 hours. After fermentation and depulping, the coffee is dried until it reaches ideal moisture and stability.

So what does it taste like, my friend? A total flavor festival. The co-ferment takes center stage, but in the background you’ll find mandarin, lemongrass, high sweetness, and lots of citrus notes. Pour-over, espresso, or moka pot—it always turns out great.

ROASTER’S OPINION

The famous El Renacer farm + SL28 + ginger = TOTAL JINGLE BELLS!!! What more is there to say—first co-ferment, check. An ultra-fresh, spicy-citrus coffee. Ginger leads the way, obviously, but there’s much more going on: mandarin, lemongrass, high sweetness, and a ton of citrus. And as a bonus—no matter how you brew it, it always comes out great.
