Description of Coffee | 

GET TO KNOW THE PROJECT | As a concept, Unblended exists to make coffee farming an exciting and meaningful industry for young producers in Colombia (and hopefully, all over the coffee-growing world). As green buyers, they partner with established coffee producers at home (see: Sebastian Ramirez) and connect them to movers and shakers in the roasting industry in the US, helping to forge more meaningful relationships between producers and patrons.

To further this initiative, Unblended has spearheaded the Young Producer Program in Colombia: a cooperative program that pairs seasoned producers with young mentees who are pursuing their passion for specialty coffee. This initiative allows young producers to learn from and experiment with successful coffee farmers, blending their small, experimental batches with larger lots from the mentors' farms, which ensures those experimental lots have a home.

TRUST THE PROCESS | This blend is composed of several lots from both young producers and storied coffee farmers alike, each of which underwent various iterations of experimental processing methods.

TAKE A SIP | By using several lots at very specific percentages, the folks at Unblended hope to balance fermentation impact and complexity with sweetness and approachability. The result is a cup that's both fruity and sweet, like summer strawberries, as well as round and smooth, like craft chocolate. Tropical notes, like mango, hint at some of those lots which underwent more extensive fermentation. Complex but still crowd-pleasing, this blend is a celebration of the excellence that already exists in specialty coffee production in Colombia, and also an enthusiastic high five to the next generation of producers in that region

This instant coffee brings together beans from Colombia's Antioquia, Cauca, Huila, and Quindio regions through the Unblended Young Producers Project, sourcing from emerging growers across multiple origins. The blend combines traditional Caturra with locally developed varietals, processed through various methods that shape the final cup's character. Black & White Coffee Roasters highlights strawberry, mango, and chocolate notes—a profile suggesting brightness balanced with deeper sweetness typical of Colombian coffees across these diverse microclimates.
