Luz Angela Rojas

In The Cup

This lot from Luz Angela Rojas the kind of coffee that gets us really excited, super expressive with big flavours and loads of complexity. To us this coffee has tonnes of tropical fruit notes like mango, passionfruit and papaya. We’ve noticed quite a few yeast inoculated coffees have displayed flavours like raspberry, grapefruit and rose and those are definitely present in this one too. As this is an ‘advanced natural’ process it does also have an extra level of funk and booziness that the ‘advanced washed’ coffees that we’ve release don’t quite have. It’s a juicy banger!
