Colombia - Elias And Shady Bayter - DJANGO (Caturra KOJI Aerobic Co-ferment Natual) (Stewed Fruit, Cherry, Fruit Punch, Pineapple, Black Sweet Tea, Grape, Steeped Fruit, Sweet Green Apple, Banana)
Grown in Colombia by Forest Coffee and El Vergel Estate, this Caturra varietal undergoes an innovative aerobic koji fermentation using Aspergillus Oryzae fungus cultivated on steamed rice, applied to cherries over 24–72 hours to amplify flavor depth. The beans are then sun-dried for 10 days followed by controlled mechanical drying, then stabilized in GrainPro bags for 20 days. Expect stewed fruit, cherry, fruit punch, pineapple, black sweet tea, grape, and sweet green apple—a layered, fruit-forward profile that showcases how koji fermentation elevates the natural sweetness and complexity of an already balanced varietal. Named after the roaster's spirited dog Django, this coffee represents a long-held dream to offer a koji-processed coffee at an accessible price point without compromising quality.
