Every once in a while a coffee comes along that really stands above the others on a cupping table. We’re growing a coffee community around exactly these kinds of coffees, and today we’re sharing what might be one of the most unique coffees in recent memory. Everything about this coffee is distinct. It comes from one of the few regions of Colombia that doesn’t get as much commercial spotlight as the others, and this is our first year sourcing from it. In Santander lives Félix Morantes, who has spent the last few years really dialing in his family’s advanced techniques. That’s a big part of what drew me to the region and ultimately to their farm. The Morantes family grew coffee incredibly well for three generations before Félix was even born. Now he’s taking that meticulously grown crop to a new level while keeping the processing focused and intentional, using it to build complexity and character rather than to mask faults. That’s what we specialize in at Promethium, so we’re humbled to have found his work. We’re also one of the first roasters in the country to carry it, which makes this coffee unique on the table for more than just its wildly unique profile. Thank you Félix.
