Strawberry Shadow
ROAST: Medium-Dark
ORIGIN: Huila & Quindío, Colombia
NOTES: Dark Chocolate, Strawberry, Vanilla
A Valentine’s slow jam in a cup
Lovers Rock takes the nostalgic, fruit-forward spirit of Strawberry Quik and turns the lights down low. This special release pushes the Colombian washed component further into development, unlocking deeper cocoa structure and a fuller body — transforming soft milk chocolate into rich, velvety dark chocolate.
The result? Chocolate-dipped strawberries with a bassline.
Jammy, expressive fruit from Edwin Noreña’s experimental lot in Quindío meets a darker, moodier Huila base developed for depth and resonance. Sweet, seductive, and layered.
The Lovers Rock Music 🎶
Lovers’ rock is a romantic style of reggae that took shape in mid-1970s London. Rooted in late rocksteady and early reggae, it blended smooth Chicago and Philadelphia soul textures with steady reggae basslines.
It was intimate. Melodic. Love-centered.
An apolitical counterpoint to the heavier conscious sound rising in Jamaica at the time — softer, warmer, built for connection.
The Process – Fruit Meets Cocoa Depth
✅ Huila Component (Washed – Developed for Chocolate): Handpicked cherries, fermented in water tanks, sun-dried — then roasted with extended development to amplify dark chocolate richness, caramelization, and structure.
✅ Quindío Component (Honey Mosto Carbonic Maceration): Carbonic maceration and fruit-forward fermentation create jammy strawberry intensity and lifted aromatics.
✅ Blended for Balance: A grounded, cocoa-driven foundation meets vivid berry brightness for a cup that feels lush and complete.
Flavor Profile
☕ Aroma: Cocoa powder, ripe strawberry, caramelized sugar
☕ First Sip: Dark chocolate upfront, followed by juicy strawberry sweetness
☕ Body: Full, velvety, and rounded
☕ Finish: Lingering cacao nibs, panela, and soft berry warmth
Richer. Deeper. Still unmistakably fruit-forward.
