Brandywine Coffee Roasters

Colombia - Los Patios - Solsticio

Solsticio hails from Los Patios in La Plata, Huila at 1,700–2,000 m.a.s.l., where Coffee Quest's R&D team engineered an innovative fermentation process. The coffee undergoes three distinct fermentation stages: initial aerobic fermentation at the farm, a controlled external fermentation with proprietary "Fruit Juice" solution, then a mixed fermentation (5 hours aerobic, 12 hours anaerobic) where the juice interacts with de-pulped cherries. The result is a clean, complex cup exploding with tropical fruit—mandarin, mango, lemongrass—while maintaining exceptional bean quality. This is specialty coffee designed with intention: replicable, distinctive, and worth seeking out for anyone curious about fermentation-driven flavor innovation.
