Hundred House Coffee
United Kingdom
Construction cranes meeting in the sky –their anthropomorphic nature is like creatures in the wild encountering a graceful exchange. The soft colours of the cranes and the idiosyncratic lines create strong yet vulnerable structures: an intricate fragility which holds a tension. When living in a city and being surrounded by constant building and growth, coffee offers a well deserved rest and pause. Our very limited series, Freak & Unique continues with this Wine Yeast and Passion Fruit Castillo from Colombia. This coffee is paired with the artwork "A Rendezvous" by Fleur Yearsley. This very exciting coffee comes from the Finca Villarazo, owned by Jairo Arcila, a third-generation coffee grower from Quindio whose sons founded the export company Cofinet. Jairo bought his first farm, Finca La Esmeralda, in 1987 whilst working at Colombia’s second-largest exporter where he was their Mill Manager for over four decades. Before his retirement in 2019, he was fortunate enough to have been able to buy five additional farms in the surrounding area, providing jobs to the local community. For this microlot, cherries were strictly picked with the same level of ripeness and immediately transported to La Pradera processing station. The coffee was then pulped and later exposed to a dry anaerobic fermentation of 48 hours at 23 degrees Celsius with passion fruit pulp and wine yeast. Finally, the coffee is shadow-dried in parabolic dryers to ideal moisture content, making for a distinct and elegant experience.
