FrontStreet Coffee · Colombia Big Tree Estate Rose Valley

Region: Santander

Processing Method: Anaerobic Double Enzyme Washed

Altitude: 1,700m

Big Tree Farm lies in the Santander region of Colombia. The farm's owner, Vargas, has been growing coffee there for twenty years.

At Big Tree Farm, only fully ripe, bright red cherries are picked. Defective floating beans are removed during washing, and then the coffee undergoes two rounds of anaerobic fermentation with special enzyme cultures. The farm is equally careful about drying: temperatures are kept from climbing too high, and the beans are dried slowly.

FrontStreet Coffee Colombian Rose Valley Flavor Profile:

A stunning peach character, accompanied by the aroma of ripe fruits such as strawberry and honeydew melon, with notes of rose, magnolia, and champagne.

Fragrant, rich, complex, and layered, entering like a sip of peach juice, with the sweet-tart balance of summer black grapes and the silky texture of cream toffee.

The special anaerobic double enzyme washed method lets this FrontStreet Coffee Rose Valley express its peach flavor clearly and completely.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

If the Rose Valley's juicy peach and champagne notes appeal to you, the wider world of Colombian coffee is worth exploring. The FrontStreet Colombia Huila washed coffee, grown above 1,500 meters in the hills south of the Central Cordillera, is medium-dark roasted for a smooth, full-bodied cup of dark chocolate and nutty sweetness that suits pour-over, French press, moka pot, and espresso alike. For another taste of Colombia's experimental side, the FrontStreet Colombia La Divisa Estate Sidra, processed as an anaerobic natural, brings passion fruit, grape, apricot, and candied fruit notes that shine in pour-over or cold brew. Home espresso drinkers can also reach for the FrontStreet Espresso Blend, which pairs the creamy nuttiness of Brazil with Colombian chocolate depth for a rich, forgiving latte base.
