Colombia Rocket Flower Capsules

Region & farm

Region

Nariño is located in southwestern Colombia and is renowned for its high-altitude coffee farms ranging from 1,500 to 2,200 masl. Volcanic soils, cool nights, and significant elevation differences create ideal conditions for slow cherry development and complex flavour profiles. Coffees from Nariño are characterized by bright acidity, full body, and expressive fruity and floral notes.

Farm

Finca El Paseo is located in the Buesaco area of the Nariño region at elevations ranging from 1,750 to 1,950 masl. Although Huver Castillo comes from a third-generation coffee farming family, he only entered coffee farming full-time in 2015, having previously worked as a mathematics teacher. El Paseo has been in the family for over 20 years, and Huver has since focused on precision and innovation in processing.

Processing & Flavor

The Caturra variety undergoes a meticulously controlled experimental process. It begins with careful selection of ripe cherries and a 36-hour pre-fermentation in cherry, followed by floating and a 2% sea salt disinfection. The beans then undergo anaerobic fermentation in stainless steel tanks with relief valves. Once pulped, the collected fermentation juices (mosto) are re-added along with enzymes to promote a specific floral profile. Main fermentation continues for six days, followed by mechanical drying for 2–3 days below 38 °C and a 15-day stabilization period.

The Taste Idea

Rocket Flower brings expressive florality and elegance to our capsule lineup. The cup opens with notes of lemongrass and jasmine, followed by a light to medium body and velvety texture with flavours reminiscent of white peaches, pomelo, and fresh coconut. A clean and elegantly complex profile, ideal for those seeking a delicate floral cup.
