CO FERMS ARE BACK. This Rose Tea Honey co-ferment from Colombia by Jario Arcila is just a wonderful delight. We love co-ferments here at SL.OW — we love the brightness they bring out in the coffees. We've never had this process before so we are very excited to be offering it as our first 2026 co-ferm. A great pairing with our new release of the Orea 01 Steel in Raw. Use our brew guide to learn how to get the most out of your brewer and coffee.

Chapter 01 · The Producer
Jario Arcila, the co-ferment master of Quindío.
Jario Arcila is one of Colombia's most experimental and respected producers — a name that comes up in any conversation about co-ferment innovation. At Finca Las Margaritas, in Colombia's coffee axis, he and his team push processing in directions most farms wouldn't dare. This lot is Pink Bourbon co-fermented with rose tea and honey — a long, controlled fermentation that pulls floral and fruit complexity into a cup that already has more aroma than most. Cofinet, our import partner, work directly with Jario to keep his most ambitious lots traceable and properly paid for.Jario Arcila · Finca Las Margaritas

II · In the Cup
Rose, Turkish delight, lemonade iceblock, vanilla, mango.
Floral and perfumed in a way most coffees never get close to. Rose and Turkish delight up front, lemonade-iceblock cool in the middle, vanilla bean and ripe mango stretching the finish. Spectacular.
Chapter 02 · The Ritual
Slow it right down. Brew it as filter.
Co-ferments are just so fun. We know not everyone likes them but we believe they have a place in the modern world. V60 or Orea on a 1:17 ratio, water 92–93°C, slow pour. Don't rush it — the rose and Turkish delight bloom in the cup. Drink black, drink slow, drink twice.
