Colombia — Cata Reserva Year 2 Grown on a sunlit 4.5-acre plot of mature Castillo trees, this lot was selectively hand-sorted before processing. Ripe cherries underwent 2–3 days of open-tank oxidation. The cherries were then pulped to remove the mucilage, before undergoing four days of sealed fermentation with coffee mosto – sugars from previous fermentations – and panela, an unrefined whole cane sugar. This controlled approach encourages a thorough fermentation while avoiding unwanted alcohol-like flavours.

Colombia — Cata x Zarza Wush Wush Provenance The seventh release in our 10-Year Series comes from one of Colombia's most influential producers. At Finca Zarza in Huila, Jonathan Gasca has built an international reputation through meticulous cultivation, innovative processing and a commitment to exploring exceptional varieties. This naturally processed Wush Wush reflects that approach, bringing together one of coffee's rarest cultivars with the precision that has made Finca Zarza a fixture on the competition stage. Sourced through our long-standing partners at Cata Export, the release also marks a return to a variety that holds a special place in Assembly's history. We were among the first roasters to release Wush Wush back in 2017, when it also became Assembly's very first limited edition coffee. Jonathan's relentless pursuit of quality and innovation reflects just how far Colombian coffee has evolved, with processing now playing as much of a role in shaping flavour as the variety itself, making this coffee a fitting addition to our 10-Year Series, nearly a decade on from our first Wush Wush release. Explore our full 10-Year series. Process Originally documented in the Wush Wush region of southwest Ethiopia, Wush Wush is a rare Ethiopian landrace now grown in limited quantities in Colombia. Prized for its floral aromatics, vibrant fruit character and remarkable complexity, it has become one of the most sought-after varieties among producers experimenting with advanced processing methods. At Finca Zarza, Jonathan Gasca uses a carefully controlled multi-stage fermentation to build sweetness, structure and clarity while preserving the variety's distinctive character. Only fully ripe cherries are handpicked before undergoing 24 hours of anaerobic fermentation, encouraging controlled microbial activity that develops floral aromatics and vibrant fruit character. The coffee then rests in sealed bags for 12 hours of controlled oxidation, increasing complexity and enhancing its fruit-forward qualities. A final submerged fermentation further develops flavour before the cherries are sun-dried in parabolic dryers for 10–12 days. This slow, even drying process preserves freshness, aromatic intensity and the vibrant character that defines a truly exceptional Wush Wush.

Colombia — CGLE Sudan Rume Provenance The next release in our 10-Year Series takes us to Valle del Cauca, where Café Granja La Esperanza has spent decades exploring the possibilities of Colombian coffee production. This naturally processed Sudan Rume is a rare example of a variety prized for its distinctive floral and tea-like character. Grown across La Esperanza’s network of farms, the coffee reflects the group’s long-standing commitment to exploring unusual varieties and refining the processes that bring out their potential. Explore our full 10-Year series. Process Sudan Rume is one of coffee’s rarer varieties, known for its floral aromatics and bright, tea-like character. Here, Café Granja La Esperanza uses a carefully controlled natural process that brings further depth to these characteristics. Only cherries at peak ripeness are selected before undergoing a floating process to remove lower-density fruit. The cherries are then assessed for their natural sugar content before beginning a two-stage fermentation. They first ferment in open tanks for 48 hours, followed by a further 72 hours in sealed tanks, allowing the fermentation to develop greater depth and complexity. After fermentation, the cherries are mechanically dried for 8–12 days at 38°C. Once dried, the coffee is rested in climate-controlled storage at 18–19°C, allowing it to stabilise. With vibrant blueberry notes and fresh lemongrass aromatics, the finished coffee demonstrates the remarkable diversity of flavour found in Colombian coffee.

A Castillo co-ferment from Jairo Arcila in Quindio, with strawberries introduced during anaerobic fermentation. The result is bright and fruit-forward, with strawberry, Turkish delight, and a juicy finish.

A washed Castillo Tambo from Huila, processed by Linarco Rodriguez after a long cherry fermentation and oxidation stage. Caramel, strawberry, and a creamy body make it structured, sweet, and clean.

Colombia — Maria Rodriguez This SL28 is naturally processed, with a 48-hour anaerobic fermentation playing a key role in developing its depth of flavour. Ripe cherries are harvested, floated and sorted before being placed in sealed tanks, where the controlled fermentation builds richer fruit character while retaining SL28’s signature clean profile. The cherries are then slowly sun-dried on raised beds for 20–30 days, turned regularly to ensure even dehydration and prevent over-fermentation. The result is a distinctly tropical expression of SL28: ripe mango, butterscotch sweetness and a rounded, creamy mouthfeel.

A natural Sidra from Mauricio Shattah at La Negrita in Tolima, fermented with wine yeast under carefully controlled conditions. Peach, dark rum, and a velvety texture give this lot a polished, fruit-rich depth.

Our latest Colombian decaf coffee comes to us from the Cooperativa de Caficultores de Manizales which was founded in 1960 and a part of the coffee community in the region of Caldas. Located in part of the renowned Coffee Triangle, the cooperative was created to support local coffee growers by improving market access, strengthening livelihoods, and promoting collective action. The cooperative helps farmers secure better prices, attain fair trade certifications, and access technical training, financial services, and sustainability programs. These services improve members’ economic stability and enhance community well-being. Sustainability is central to its mission. The cooperative encourages organic farming, reduces pesticide use, and supports water conservation, biodiversity, and renewable energy. It also invests in social initiatives, including education, healthcare, and fair labor practices, to improve living standards in coffee-growing communities. Each farm produces its own levels of volume and types of varieties, and the main varieties grown are Castillo, Caturra, and Supremo. Most of the members of the association process their coffees using traditional washed processing practices; 16 hours fermentation followed by sun-drying for 15 days. The Sugar Cane EA Decaffeination method Sugar cane decaffeination is often termed as a natural process decaf. Ethyl Acetate is an organically existing compound (C4H8O2) and by-product found most commonly in the fermentation of fruits, and is present in both ripe bananas and beer for example. The DESCAFECOL decaffeination plant in Manizales uses water from the Navado del Ruis (a volcano between Caldas and Tolima) and natural ethyl acetate from fermented sugarcane sourced in the southern region of Palmira, Colombia. This process begins with steaming of the coffee, increasing its porosity, beginning the hydrolysis of caffeine, which is usually bonded to salts and chlorogenic acids in the bean. The beans are then submerged in an ethyl acetate solution until 97% of the caffeine is removed. A final steam is then used to lift residual traces of the compound. The ultimate residue which remains is ≤30 ppm, which is a level dramatically less than that of a banana!

Our latest Colombian masterpiece is yet another release from the famous Inmaculada Coffee Farms and their 'Fellows' project in Huila and Cauca. This project with partnering farms which began in 2022 not only allows them to preserve the distinctive quality of the coffees but also expands the Inmaculada portfolio with exotic varieties that they might not grow themselves. With this project they are actively contributing to improving the livelihoods of partner coffee growers and strengthening their agronomic and processing practices in these regions. We first tasted a range of Inmaculada coffees at an event in 2025 and they were exceptional coffees. These are not generally accessible in the UK but luckily through our import partner DR Wakefield we were able to purchase two particular gems which were both amazing. We wanted more, and luckily we had the pleasure of hosting Jorge and Juan Pablo from Inmaculada on our stand at this year's World of coffee event in Brussels. They'd brought with them some stunning coffees to brew including a Bourbon Aji, which is also known as 'Pepper or Chilli Bourbon'. The plant has a distinctive pepper like aroma as the coffee cherries are picked, hence the “Aji” name (Aji is the south American word for chilli peppers). It was quite special so we immediately booked some and hey presto.. it was milled, packed and shipped to be here at Crankhouse within a couple of weeks. Research performed by plant geneticist Dr. Christophe Montagnon has shown that Bourbon Aji is not actually a Bourbon at all (just like Pink Bourbon), but a descendant of the Ethiopian landrace coffee group. It's the first time we've had this particular variety in the roastery but not the first time we've heard of it. It's one of the new 'exotic' varieties that has come out of the Huila region of Colombia. Inmaculada is based in Santiago de Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia and they process the Fellows partner coffees through their own state of the art mill for quality and consistency purposes. This Bourbon Aji is processed as a washed coffee with a short anaerobic fermentation after depulping. For us it has some tropical notes, with a juicy citrus acidity and a sweetness that reminded us of dry vermouth. It's a complex cup for sure.
