Part of what we specialize in at Promethium is procuring coffees in an eccentric manner. Meaning the coffees we find, roast and present are unique in their nature - often bookmarking moments in our industry or new age thinking + innovation. In the case of this Guava coffee, it's the latter, marking a unique turn in processing.

We've been aware of Juan Puerta's advanced processing work for years, first experiencing his beloved Panela Sticky coffee years ago from friends in Germany. Ever since then he's been on our short list of figures in our industry to highlight - this summer we finally get that chance to.

This coffee has undergone a different type of intervention, being washed with an arrangement of herbs and spices. This yields easily the single most unique combination of flavors and natural castillo characteristics I've ever encountered. I'm adoring just how wildly unique this coffee is while still being incredibly varietal forward. Just a dang good cup elevated just slightly due to tasteful intervention. That's the coffee of tomorrow.

Recommended Music to accompany brewing: Paper Bag - Goldfrapp
