Sungrazer arrives like direct exposure to sunlight!
Tasting notes : Pineapple, persimmon, papaya, pomegranate molasses
Country: Colombia
The first sensation is juicy and open, almost unfiltered, then the texture thickens as if the fruit had been compressed by heat. The acidity remains bright but integrated.
This coffee is produced by Angel Ortega at Miramar farm in San Agustín, Colombia, at 1680 meters above sea level. The Gesha variety ripens slowly here, which allows for a very fine reading of natural sugars and aromatic structure.
The process combines classic washed processing with pineapple co-fermentation. It shifts the trajectory of fermentation and intensifies the perception of juiciness without erasing the coffee’s inherent structure.
The name Sungrazer echoes Kiki Smith’s work in its relationship to body and light. This way of thinking about the surface as a site of exposure, where skin becomes a space of perception rather than a boundary. In that sense, the cup behaves in the same way as direct contact with light.
As pour over, it is clean and luminous. As cold brew, it becomes denser, tactile, similar to warmth held beneath the skin.
