The SOL blend

Sol, our new "yellow" blend, takes its name from our Sun, promising a coffee experience that guides you to new discoveries. Bursting with sweet, fruity, and complex flavors reminiscent of berry compote, marzipan, and cream, the Sol was roasted to lead drinkers toward a richer understanding of the diverse and dynamic world of coffee.

Peru Yambrasbamba

Yambrasbamba lies within the Alto Mayo Protected Forest, spanning the San Martín and Amazonas departments in northern Peru, at altitudes of 800 to 3,400 meters. This region safeguards hydrographic basins, lush vegetation, diverse wildlife, and stunning landscapes, including cloud forests, caves, lagoons, waterfalls, and Amazon River tributaries, notably the 307-kilometer Mayo River, which names the forest. Home to the Aguarunas and Awajún tribes, it also nurtures Peru’s last undiscovered coffee varieties. Yambrasbamba’s crisp nights and temperate days, paired with heirloom Typica and Caturra varieties, create ideal coffee-growing conditions. From July to October, farmers harvest coffee, enrich soil with Bokashi fertilizer made from food waste, coffee pulp, sugarcane stalks, microorganisms, and island guano. After depulping, cherries ferment in wooden basins, are washed with clean water, and dry on raised beds under transparent-roofed structures, yielding exceptional coffee reflective of the region’s rich biodiversity.
