Coffee Description
With bright fruity flavors and a full mouthfeel, this coffee from Antioquia, Colombia hits all the right notes. Producer Juan Felipe has developed a unique anaerobic honey processing that targets the growth of lactic bacteria in the fermentation stages, giving it one-of-a-kind acidity and clarity. The result is a sweet cocktail of watermelon, lime, and peach.

About Juan Felipe of Colombia
This coffee originates from Ciudad Bolivar, Antioquia in Colombia and is cultivated by a pioneering farmer named Juan Felipe. The 400 hectare farm where this coffee is grown is divided into two sections: one half is a protected nature reserve and home to diverse plants and animals, including the endangered Andean bear; the other half is where the coffee is grown. The coffee is processed in barrels in anaerobic conditions that requires constant monitoring and measurement of lactic bacteria, which provides flavor, oxygen levels, sugar content (brux), temperature, and pH balance. To call this coffee a scientific feat is accurate!

Indie Coffee Roasters
At Indie Coffee Roasters, we’re motivated by coffee, community, and collaboration. We take great pride in every aspect of our work, from the biggest to the smallest details. Our team is more than a group of employees, we’re like family, and we work together toward a common goal: making Indie Coffee Roasters the best it can be.
When it comes to creating great coffee, each step of the supply chain matters. We consider every aspect of our coffee selections, including questions you might never think to ask like: What kind of soil did this coffee grow in? How was it harvested and processed? What is the climate like where this coffee was farmed? Many people focus primarily on the final step--How was the coffee roasted? How should it be brewed?--and those are equally important questions, but there is so much more to it than that!
Of course, the roasting process is incredibly important too, and some of the most important work we do. We consider our roasting process to be a perfect blend of art and science as we roast with precision to capture the flavors in each of our carefully-sourced coffees.
In addition to bringing great coffee to our community, building relationships is at the core of who we are. We work directly with coffee producers whenever possible and ensure that our coffee sourcing is transparent and beneficial for every person in the supply chain. We love to celebrate our coffee producers as we wouldn’t be here without them. Whether we’re connecting with our regulars who frequent our coffee shop locations and wholesale partners who serve our coffee from their own locations or learning all we can about our amazing coffee producers all around the world, from start to finish, coffee is all about community.
