We are excited to share this Colombia / Carambolo from our friends at Lohas. Spyhouse is no stranger to Huila coffees. Orion, Star of the North, Moonstruck, and Bold and the Beautiful all use components from Huila. As a “regional” coffee, it combines crop yields from multiple farmers, all Tabi and Yellow Colombia varieties.
Common coffees from the region may have tasting notes of red fruit, citrus, caramel, and chocolate. However, the unique processing of this coffee brings out some more vibrant notes. This coffee undergoes a double fermentation process, first aerobic, then anaerobic. Lohas says, “The initial exposure to oxygen gives the character, and the extended anaerobic submersion highlights the stone fruit notes. A final hot and cold water quenching stage preserves the profile.”

In Spanish, Carambolo means “starfruit,” and when you taste this coffee, you will understand why! A very prominent and tropical yellow fruit note can be noticed up front and is mixed with cocoa and lemon. We have been blown away by how tropical fruit-forward and delicious this cup of coffee is!
