Filter Roast

a name inspired by this coffee’s playful sweetness. crafted by Johan and Diego Vergara through meticulous, multi-phase fermentation, this filter profile bursts with nostalgic, candy-like notes. expect vibrant acidity and juicy clarity, with flavors of strawberries & cream candy, strawberry compote, and a refreshing light body. bright, lively, and syrupy-sweet, it lingers like the memory of childhood treats.

resting our coffees

cafēn coffees are roasted to order. in the days that follow, freshly roasted coffee continues to evolve. as carbon dioxide gradually releases, the coffee begins to truly open up - harsh, roasty, or astringent notes soften, allowing a sweeter, cleaner, and more expressive cup to emerge.

resting gives the coffee space for its true character to shine.

we recommend resting our coffees for at least 14 days after the roast date. denser or high-elevation lots often reach their peak between 3 to 6 weeks.

processing

this lot underwent a carefully controlled, multi-phase fermentation designed to enhance sweetness and depth.

  • - cherries were harvested at 24–28° Brix.
  • - a thermal shock was applied in cherry prior to fermentation.
  • - fermentation began with 60 hours of anaerobic processing.
  • - this was followed by a 12-hour oxidative phase.
  • - next, a 24 hour submerged anaerobic fermentation.
  • - a second thermal shock was applied at 55°C for 30 minutes.
  • - drying was completed mechanically over 60 hours.
