This is our second year of working with Diego Bermudez and another gem of El Paraiso. This is one of the most unique and interesting coffees. When we first tasted this coffee it was unlike anything we've had before.
In the cup
It tastes sweet with spices like our favourite deserts. We get cardamom, cinnamon, honey, pistachio and buttercream frosting.
About The Producer
Diego is an absolute genius when it comes to methodology in coffee processing. Rather than using standard anaerobic fermentation tanks he uses precise bio reactors to ferment the product measuring everything from time, temp, ph, sugar content and microbial load. We have come to know Diego and Finca El Paraiso's team as the world leaders in coffee processing.
Processing
The process of this profile begins with the proper harvesting of the coffee cherries, at an optimum point of ripeness.Then the coffee cherries are disinfected with ozone, and they are transferred to the cherry fermentation tanks, in which an anaerobic fermentation process is carried out for 72 hours submerged in water and Lactobacillus in milk culture medium. Then the coffee is pulped and mix with the leachates collecting in the cherry fermentation to increase the level of precursors in the seed followed by a thermal shock wash process, carried out to fix a greater amount of precursors and seal the coffee for a good drying process.
Variety
Castillo is a hybrid variety. It is a cross between Caturra and a Timor Robusta. Carefully created for its resistance to leaf rust, Castillo is a hybrid variety that now makes up 40% of Colombia’s coffee crops. It is a “dwarfed” tree that can be planted in high density, resulting in generous crop yields.

About SEPTEMBER COFFEE / Canada
⸻
We're Natasha and Kyle and we are the two behind September who decided to leave our occupation to start a micro roastery in capital city of Canada, Ottawa.
Our approach is to highlight coffees that make us smile, spark conversation or bring a sense of curiosity while being traceable. Direct relationships with producers is often the goal, but when not possible we work with select importers who help us achieve this vision. We enjoy sharing coffees that are clean and sparkle, while also sharing coffees that are unique and inspiring.
While some start roasteries as barista champions etc, our background in coffee is not as traditional. Kyle's background is full time education and content creation in coffee on Youtube, social media and blogging. Our prior background is working as Pastors and Natasha's was in competitive dance. Our perspective for sourcing and roasting comes not only from being professionals in the industry but also being home barista enthusiasts.
ROASTING
Every roast should be able to reflect the hard work of each farmer and producer. Our approach is to ensure every cup has a high level of clarity so that this can be reflected by also revealing the sweetness and acidity naturally found in each coffee.
Our coffees aim to be light, bright and sweet, while achieving silky and memorable mouthfeel. We roast on a Loring S15 Falcon that we believe allows us to amalgamate this philosophy to your cup.
