Additional
Strawberry Haze from Zwarte Roes is a limited edition filter coffee from Acevedo, Huila, Colombia. Producer Brayan Alvear fermented the beans anaerobically for five days with dried strawberries, then dried and stabilized them. The result is a very fruity profile with notes of fresh strawberry, hints of milk chocolate and a delicate rose aroma. The light roast highlights the bright, apple-like acidity and a silky body with a long finish. An SCA score of 89 underlines the quality. Brewing recommendations for V60, Chemex and Aeropress. 100 percent Arabica, single origin and direct trade, roasted fresh weekly in recyclable packaging.
More About Strawberry Haze
Strawberry Haze (Zwarte Roes): unique filter coffee
Strawberry Haze is a specialty from Zwarte Roes, from Colombia's Huila region. This limited-edition filter coffee has a pronounced fruity character thanks to a strawberry fermentation. The coffee has intense aromas and a full body with notes of strawberry and milk chocolate.
Origin and farm
This coffee comes from Acevedo in Huila, Colombia. The producer is Brayan Alvear, who grew up on the family farm in San Adolfo, Huila. Together with about 60 fellow producers from the region he supplies high-quality coffee beans. Zwarte Roes selected these beans as a 'limited edition' Colombian filter special. Brayan calls this blend his 'Juicy Strawberry' coffee because of the strawberry fermentation.
