A very sparkly and unusual coffee from Angie Hernandez, Finca Los Nogales in Colombia. This experimental washed cenicafe varietal bursts with tasting notes of lime cheesecake, clove, eucalyptus and speculoos.

For this coffee, the first step is of course picking ripe cherries as this will ensure optimal flavour and aroma. The process continues by cleaning and disinfecting the cherries with treated water to help eliminate impurities and unwanted microorganism. The 3rd step is sorting the cherries by density using water (higher beans tend to sink so the floaters will be removed). The cherries are then going through thermal shock, being soaked in 80 degree Celsius water for 20 seconds, followed by rapid cooling with cold water for 3 to 5 minutes. This process breaks down the sugar and pasteurises the beans which contributes to the final flavour of the coffee. The coffee is then pulped and sugars obtained by pressing the skin of the cherries are added in the fermentation tank to improve flavour profile and guarantee sweetness. The coffee is then fermented for 120 hours to make sure the sugars are broken down properly to ensure flavour and acidity in the coffee. Addition of preferments, similar to sourdough in bread, is also added. The coffee is then sun-dried for 15 days.

MEET THE ROASTER

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
