Some coffees you release quietly. Not this one. Bubblegum Sundae comes from El Encanto in Colombia — a rare Bourbon Ají lot taken through a yeast-inoculated natural fermentation that turns the candy dial all the way up.
In the cup: lemonade ice block, gumball, blossom and creamy soda. It tastes like the dairy on a hot Sunday afternoon — playful on the surface, seriously crafted underneath. We cupped it once and knew it had to be a release.
We've roasted this one for both filter and espresso — a true omni roast, so brew it however your morning looks. Bright and fizzy through a V60, full candy-shop nostalgia with milk. Slow down and enjoy this one.

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.

Super nice intro to the espresso program, lighter brew. Nice undertones. Would recommend if it’s your first bag of the program
★★★★★
Very interesting brew, I can definitely smell and taste the strawberry component with a pleasant chocolate powdery finish, extremely drinkable.
★★★★★
This is a fantastic coffee. Very fruit forward, tastes like cherry Starburst. Great as a filter coffee, but if you like adventurous espresso, this makes for an interesting cortado.
★★★★★
Lush oranges and fresh tangy finish, high quality and well worth the extra dosh x
