Coffee Spotlight: Colombia - Galactic Crumble Co-Ferment
We have a new co-ferment to talk about on the blog this week! Come read all about it in the newest edition of our coffee spotlight blog series!
This co-ferment is made of a blend of Colombian coffees from various producers around the Huila, Tolima, and Caldas region. Depending on the harvest season, coffee cherries are sourced from these regions to ensure the freshest crops and processed at El Vergel Estate, the producer we work with to source the coffee.
The producers who run El Vergel Estate have been in the coffee world since 1995; in 2010 they founded El Vergel Estate to find innovative ways to add value to their coffees and close the gap between producers and roasters. They export coffees both from their own estate and small farms in order to connect coffee growers directly with international markets, ensure fair pricing, and provide full transparency. Today they have a thriving network of 250 coffee-growing families, four major projects across Colombia, a team of 25+ , and a global community of partners and roasters.

Their Galactic Crumble coffee was processed with a 48-hour anaerobic pre-fermentation. After depulping, the beans, still in mucilage, are co-fermented with yeast & cherry flavors to enhance their fruity profile. Once fermentation is complete, the beans are dried and undergo a 30 day stabilization period.
