Pull & Pour Special Release 003 – Java El Eden

This delightful anaerobic natural Colombian coffee is the third special release of the Pull & Pour Coffee Club. Java El Eden comes from the producers Elias & Shady Bayter and their farm, El Vergel. Java is a very rare variety in Colombia and is part of a micro-lot on the estate that has been one of the most exotic & has developed totally unique profiles. ​This specific coffee is processed with an extended anaerobic fermentation, using water in a unique way to stabilize the temperature during fermentation. If you tasted it without knowing it was an anaerobically processed coffee though, you would never think it was. The cup is decadent and complex, but also very clean without any of the over-the-top anaerobic fruit juice qualities.

This coffee is truly a special one—and only available for one day through the Pull & Pour coffee club. Here’s an overview of what I’ve experienced with the coffee…

The coffee begins with a strong fragrance of raspberries and cream. It is decadent from the first smell and carries through to the final finish. The flavor is smooth & full with notes of raspberry, strawberry, grape candy, hazelnut and white chocolate and is paired with a crisp and balanced acidity. The body is very full with a silky mouthfeel. The coffee has a certain umami quality to it that is deeply satisfying and increases its luxurious quality.

The cookie butter quality comes through most in the finish, which is smooth and sweet. Much of what I love about this coffee comes down to its complexity. It has some rich sweetness from berry and dark fruit notes, but also white chocolate, nuts, umami characteristics, and more. It also has some incredible evolution as the coffee cools and the flavor profile evolves. It’s one you’ll discover something new with every brew.

Overall I am so excited to be able to offer this exceptional coffee to the club. The coffee is extremely limited with only 60 jars available. To have a chance to pick it up, be sure to join the free Pull & Pour Coffee Club. If you missed this special release, more will be on the way—as well as many other amazing coffees.
