Sakura

€10,50

As exotic processing styles get more common, it becomes rare that an exotic coffee truly surprises us. Sakura made us stop in our tracks the first time we tried it. The floral aroma is like a bouquet of fresh flowers - unmistakable and captivating. Combined with bright fruity sweetness, it's a pleasure to drink.

This comes from Julio César Madrid's Café Uba project in Calarcá, Quindío. The Castillo variety cherries are co-fermented with peach, honey, and passionfruit, creating the coffee's distinctive character - cherry blossom, berries, and honey notes that live up to the name.

We roast Sakura in micro batches only on our smaller Giesen W1, using slightly elevated airflow to highlight those incredible floral aromas. We suggest brewing this as a filter coffee to let the delicate florals shine. Available in 100g or 250g and 1kg bags.

Origin

Julio César Madrid founded Café Uba in 2014 with the vision of creating something different from traditional coffee businesses in Colombia. On his three farms - Riviera, Milán, and Buenos Aires - he grows diverse coffee varieties and uses innovative fermentation methods to produce high-quality specialty coffees.

The farms span over 200 hectares in Risaralda, Colombia, with around a million coffee plants and more than 20 varieties. Young, nutrient-rich soils combine with cool mountain air and extended fruit maturation, allowing the coffee to develop complex and distinctive flavors.

Julio carefully controls fermentation and drying, ensuring the best process for each variety. Thanks to this dedication and the excellent environmental conditions, Café Uba has won national and international quality awards and been recognized in barista championships worldwide.
