About This Coffee

ROAST: Light
ORIGIN: Andrés Martínez, Cauca, Colombia
NOTES: Blackberry Compote, Berry Yogurt, Brown Sugar

This Caturra from Andrés Martínez is intensely fruit-driven, built around an experimental blackberry co-fermentation that amplifies the coffee’s natural sweetness while preserving clarity and structure. The result is a saturated, modern expression of Colombian coffee — jammy, creamy, and unmistakably blackberry-forward.

The cup opens with dense blackberry compote before developing a creamy berry yogurt acidity that keeps all that fruit feeling bright and balanced. Brown sugar sweetness builds underneath, leading into a rich, syrupy finish that lingers with layers of ripe dark fruit.

Story

Produced by Andrés Martínez in Cauca, this release continues our exploration of his progressive fermentation work alongside upcoming importer Unblended. Andrés combines technical precision with experimental processing to create coffees that feel modern, saturated, and wildly memorable.

This lot from Andrés Martínez was born from his curiosity to develop a mosto capable of intensifying the natural flavor of blackberries. By blending fresh Castilla blackberries with enology yeast, he created a vibrant, tannic-rich must that captures the essence of the fruit. After four days of anaerobic fermentation, the mosto is ready and the coffee is added to the tank, where both components co-ferment for an additional four days in sealed tanks. Once the fermentation is complete, the coffee is lightly washed to remove excess fruit. The result is an innovative and expressive coffee with pronounced blackberry notes, balanced sweetness, and a creamy texture—a cup that showcases Andrés’ creativity and the depth of this unique process.
