MEET THE PRODUCER | Brayan Alvear is a talented young coffee producer from Colombia—in fact, he might just be the youngest producer to headline our single origin menu. Brayan was born and raised in the rural town of Acevedo, where his dad began teaching him about coffee when he turned 13. At 20 years old, Brayan coordinated a project involving 60 coffee growers in the San Adolfo region of Colombia, collecting and selling coffees in cherry from some of the most remote locations in the region. And he managed to do all of that while also navigating life as a brand new parent! Both his personal and professional stories are a testament to his own tenacity and determination, and his recent achievements in co-fermentation only add to the legacy he’s building. **TRUST THE PROCESS |**This coffee is a blend of two coffees from Brayan’s careful hands: - 50% Brayan Alvear - Rocket Flower - 50% Brayan Alvear - Watermelon In both cases, whole coffee cherries are co-fermented with ground, dehydrated fruit: citrus fruits, in the case of Rocket Flower, and (at the risk of stating the obvious) watermelon, in the case of the latter. After fermentation, the coffee is dried in mechanical dryers for 10 days, until optimal moisture content is achieved. **TAKE A SIP |**This coffee is supremely fresh, floral, and vibrant. In fact, it’s downright spring-like. This may seem like an odd choice for the cozy holiday season, but we feel it offers some welcome flavor diversity to our menu during these chillier days. The fruit flavors here are bright and playful, like chewing a stick of watermelon bubble gum. Aromatic like white flowers and vibrant like complex citrus, sipping this coffee reminds us that warmer days and new beginnings lie ahead. **Origin |**Huila, Colombia **Producer |**Brayan Alvear **Process |**Co-ferment **Variety |**Caturra, Castillo Elevation | 1500–1700 MASL
