Bubblegum Sundae is a rare Bourbon Ají from El Encanto in Colombia, taken through a yeast-inoculated natural ferment that turns the candy dial all the way up — lemonade ice block, gumball, blossom and creamy soda. Roasted omni, so it's dessert as a V60 and pure nostalgia through milk. Playful up front, seriously crafted underneath.

Chapter 01 · The Producer
A rare Bourbon Ají from El Encanto, Colombia.
El Encanto has become one of the farms we watch closest in Colombia — a family project with a knack for rare varietals and boundary-pushing fermentation. This lot is Bourbon Ají, a prized mutation known for intense aromatics and syrupy sweetness, taken through a carefully controlled yeast-inoculated natural fermentation that amplifies all that candy character while keeping the finish clean. Cata Export, our import partner for this one, work directly with the farm to bring lots like this to New Zealand — traceable, fresh, and exactly as vivid as the day they were cupped.El Encanto · Colombia

II · In the Cup
Lemonade ice block, gumball, a creamy soda finish.
It opens like the dairy on a hot afternoon — lemonade ice block brightness and pure gumball sweetness. Blossom florals lift the middle of the cup, and it lands soft and round, like the last sip of a creamy soda. Vivid, playful and impossible to mistake for anything else.
Chapter 02 · The Ritual
Prepare to have your mind altered.
We think this coffee is stunning no matter how you brew it. Under the pump of an espresso machine, or just through the world's natural physics of pourover. Stock up though — sadly there isn't much to go around. You remember your first ever experience of going to an ice cream parlour? Particularly for those from New Zealand — you'll remember the bubblegum ice cream and a can of creamy soda, both of which you could pick up at any dairy in NZ nearly 10 years ago for about $2. Yeap. Same. This is what that coffee reminds us of. It's sweet as, in all the best ways possible. Not searching for flavour, no delicacy — just here is a mind-altering brew, in any way you want to brew it.
