We love this lot from Finca Milan in Colombia as it leans into the citrus and herbal side, and it’s easily one of our favourites. This Castillo undergoes yeast fermentation with fresh pineapple, lychee, and local aromatic plants, before being dried as a washed coffee. The result is a vibrant and layered cup, with tasting notes of eucalyptus, lemongrass, and delicate florals.
The process begins with selective harvesting, where only fully ripe cherries are handpicked to guarantee quality. These cherries undergo 48 hours of controlled oxidation, naturally rising to 40°C (104°F). Afterward, they are depulped and transferred into a sealed bioreactor, where a specialized fermentation takes place using selected yeast, fresh pineapple, lychee and local aromatic plants. This fermentation lasts 48 hours under carefully monitored conditions. The coffee is then washed to remove any remaining fruit residues and begins its drying phase, first under controlled conditions until it reaches approximately 30% moisture content, then completed to ensure uniformity. Finally, the beans are rested for one month to stabilise and fully develop their flavour potential.

Dak Coffee Roasters
Dak Coffee Roasters was founded by Louis-Philippe Boucher & Veronique Lagarde in 2019. Originally from Montreal, Canada, the duo roamed around Europe for more than 8 years before settling in Amsterdam where they founded the roastery. Dak means “roof” in Danish, and it was a moment in 2019 when Louis-Philippe was sitting on the roof of his home, drinking coffee when he decided to start his own roastery. Dak now consists of a small team of six.
“Coffee has always been part of our lives, although our love for specialty coffee has grown exponentially in the past few years. After working many years respectively in Finance & Marketing, we decided to pursue our dream, opening a coffee roastery. Dak was born from true passion for coffee and the desire to embark on a journey of endless discoveries.
“We select our coffees based on their unique tasting profiles and of course that are 100% fully traceable. We partner with importers that share our values and we roast each one of our coffees carefully to bring the best flavours they have to offer.”
—Louis-Philippe & Veronique
