Map #8: Jairo Arcila, Colombia (Passionfruit Fermentation)

A tropical experiment in fruit fermented coffee

Map #8

Jairo Arcila (Passionfruit Fermentation) is refreshing, clean and a fantastic addition to the Map Series. Its tropical fruit sweetness and rounded milky smoothness remind us of sorbet, garnished with a gentle rosy high-note. Delicate yet vibrant, complex yet incredibly drinkable, it’s a coffee of multitudes that will satisfy coffee adventurers of every calibre.

The Arcila family are proud coffee producers, with a longstanding and far reaching relationship with the crop. Jairo Arcila heads up the five family farms; sons Carlos & Felipe founded Cofinet, an importer that represents many speciality coffee producers in Colombia. The eagle-eyed among you will have spotted we sourced our last Map Series lot from the same producer: This time instead of the strawberries of Map #7, you’re tasting the passionfruit in its fermentation tank.

The Map Series

The Map Series is the jewel in our crown: a range of unique single origin coffees each with a story to tell.
We source each coffee carefully and considerately, choosing lots that showcase exciting flavour profiles, innovative producers, experimental processing techniques, and unsung origins of the speciality coffee industry.

By releasing each coffee one at a time, roasted in extra small batches and subject to rigorous ongoing quality control, we maximise the outstanding flavour potential of each coffee to truly take you on a magnificent journey.

We began the Map Series two years ago, and in that time we’re proud to say we’ve released some absolutely stunning coffee under its banner. Map #8 is no exception.

Roasting Schedule

Your coffee will be roasted within 1-16 days of purchase, with a shelf life of 6 weeks (optimum serving point at 12-36 days old). We recommend letting this coffee rest for at least 7 days before using, in order to release excess gas which can impact the flavour of your cup.

If you would like your coffee fresh, please leave a note with your order and we will do our best to accommodate.
