El Obraje Yellow Bourbon is a washed-process limited released microlot. When Prolog’s Head of Coffee, Blazej, visited this farm last year, he was really struck by the sheer attention to detail in standards of cleanliness and organisation at the processing centre.

What makes this coffee so special in particular though is the varietal. The yellow bourbon variety, in addition to the meticulous work in farming and processing, producing an extremely clean and elegant flavour profile. This is a delicious fruity and juicy cup of coffee, and we experience notes of mango and orange. This is truly one of our personal favourite lots each year, and really shows how great Colombian coffee can be.

We’re such big fans of El Obraje in general, one of the most well-run and prestigious farms in Colombia, this is our fourth year of working together with them, buying many unique and exciting lots every year. It’s not only us who thinks this either! In 2021, El Obraje took home both of the top two places in the the Colombian Cup of Excellence competition, the awards given for the best coffees of the year.

The climate and terrain of Obraje are major contributing factors to its coffee’s unique cup profile. Temperatures vary greatly in a day, from 32 degrees Celsius at noon to 8 degrees or less at night. Obraje is located near many volcanic mountains and the rocky soil is filled with minerals.

The hundred-hectare Hacienda El Obraje is a truly stunning property in the mountains of the Nariño department, with coffee planted on the slopes descending to a river valley. El Obraje’s wet mill on the property is extremely tidy and includes tile fermentation tanks, depulping equipment, mechanical oven dryers, and raised drying beds under a solar dryer. Coffee processing begins as soon as the cherries are harvested.

We have decided to roast this coffee omni, which means it can be enjoyed equally as a filter or espresso brew.

MEET THE ROASTER

Prolog Coffee

Prolog Coffee began at the start of 2016, driven by a simple yet profound mission: to create a satisfying coffee experience for every customer, whether they’re enjoying a cup at the café or ordering coffee in bulk. The name – Prolog – reflects this mission, symbolising the ongoing journey of discovery and improvement. Every new challenge, every new opportunity to refine their craft, marks the beginning of a new chapter—a new prologue.

Founded by Sebastian Quistorff and Jonas Gehl, Prolog Café opened its doors in March 2016 in Copenhagen. Originally conceived as a temporary installation, the café quickly became a beloved fixture in the city’s specialty coffee scene. Its initial collaboration with KOMBO, a company dedicated to curating food experiences, laid the foundation for Prolog’s enduring commitment to connecting coffee with the broader world of food. This partnership remains strong today, fostering a continuous dialogue with customers about the integral role of quality coffee in culinary experiences.

At Prolog, quality is paramount, and they believe that true quality can only come from fair pricing. Prolog is deeply committed to maintaining close relationships with the farmers who grow their green coffee, ensuring that their hard work is properly valued. When direct relationships aren’t possible, they work with trusted importers who share their commitment to fair trade. This approach not only guarantees exceptional coffee but also helps improve the living conditions of the farmers, showing true appreciation for the effort and care that goes into every bean.
