Cherry Bomb

Cherry Bomb

The anaerobic Ombiglon (25%) in the blend adds deep texture and abounding florals to a raspberry/apple acidity and malt/toffee backbone from the regional Cata 82 Caturra (75%).

This is our first true filter blend, and won’t be around for ever, so we’re not offering a subscription (just yet).

In a way, the Cherry Bomb is a way to answer the question – how can we get a mid-strength version of this funky fermentation-forward coffee; by introducing some fresh fruit-dominant acidity, we balance out the almost custardy texture and dark chocolate aromatics.

Last year we brought in some of our fanciest coffee yet – some thermal shocked anaerobic natural Ombiglon from Nestor Lasso’s farm El Diviso, and as with many sour beers or fancy orange wines, we love how punchy it is, but when the option on some Cata 82 came up from our friends at Cata Export (the team who helped us secure our lot of El Diviso), we knew what was coming.
