ELDERFLOWER DROPS

Tasting notes

In the roaster’s words

Elderflower Drops is an expressive, fruit-forward Colombian coffee with bright acidity, layered sweetness, and a clean, structured finish. Produced in Finca Las Flores and then processed in Finca El Diviso, this coffee is a striking example of modern Colombian innovation, combining precise fermentation techniques with a clear focus on flavour clarity and balance. Processed using an anaerobic washed method, it delivers a cup that is vibrant, complex, and carefully controlled. Expect a lively profile with lifted acidity, juicy fruit character, and a sweetness that feels layered rather than heavy, all anchored by a clean, well-defined structure. This lot is particularly rewarding as a filter, where its clarity and fermentation-driven complexity really come into focus. The careful double anaerobic fermentation adds depth and intensity, allowing the coffee to remain expressive while still feeling precise and intentional. Brewed as espresso, it offers a bright, dynamic shot with energy and sweetness, appealing to those who enjoy complex and layered espresso profiles. This is a coffee for curious brewers and flavour-focused drinkers who want something distinctive. The processing enhances the coffee’s natural character rather than dominating it, resulting in a cup that feels thoughtful and clean. It’s expressive without being chaotic, experimental without losing structure - a reflection of both the producer’s skill and the potential of carefully managed fermentation. We chose this coffee for its precision, clarity, and the intention behind its processing. It’s a strong example of how advanced fermentation can elevate flavour without sacrificing balance, resulting in a cup that is expressive, structured, and thoughtfully executed. If you’re drawn to modern, expressive coffees that combine innovation with control and clarity, this one fits naturally into that space.
