This collaborative lot was born from the curiosity of young producers in Sonsón who were eager to experiment, improve quality, and explore new fermentation techniques. Specialty coffee is still emerging in the region, and this project was designed to help small-scale producers build volume while refining cup profiles and creating more complex, differentiated coffees.

Guided by Andrés Cardona, one of the program’s mentors, the producers began experimenting with his black honey process. Six producers applied the recipe to their own cherries, producing small lots with distinct flavor profiles ranging from chocolatey and fruity to caramel-like. Because each lot was limited in size, they were blended with washed and extended fermentation coffees from the same producer group to create a larger, more layered community lot.  Welcome to the Sonsón Youth Collab 1.0.

Smooth and sweet with layered chocolate, strawberry and cherry flavors.  We're very excited about our new partnership with Unblended Coffee.
