Candy Blast – Innovation Series from San Agustín, Huila, Colombia

This isn’t your everyday cup – it’s a technicolor explosion of mint, watermelon, candy, citric spark, bubblegum, and raspberry that will keep you coming back for another sip.

High in the mountains of southern Huila (1,750m), the vibrant community of San Agustín producers is crafting coffees that balance heritage and experimentation. This UNESCO World Heritage region is known for rich volcanic soils, perfect altitude, and farmers who aren’t afraid to push flavor boundaries.

This lot combines Caturra and Colombia varieties in a wild process: a 48-hour anaerobic pre-fermentation, followed by a five-day fermentation with both dried & fresh watermelon. The result? Layers of juicy sweetness, tropical brightness, and a playful citrus lift.

After fermentation, the beans are sun-pre-dried, finished in static silos, and rested for 30 days to lock in flavor – delivering a cup that’s vibrant, complex, and bursting with personality.

Think candy shop meets fruit market – in your mug.

Interesting, unusual flavors

I love fermented coffees - and foods. So, I loved trying this as an experiment. The taste was Interesting and unusual. It's dry, almost chalky up front and has a little bit of tartness at the end. ...

Fantastic

I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about this one. I don’t drink MCC for flavored coffee, and reading the description it sorta came across as such. It’s definitely not though. There’s a pleasant sweetness that isn’t cloying, and it comes across as almost juicy. Lots of fresh, bright fruit flavor here, and I wish I could have this on constant rotation.

Watermelon Bubblegum is amazing

If you’ve ever had watermelon bubblegum growing up, they have perfectly imparted into the coffee. It’s absolutely unique and delicious. I look forward to my cup every morning!

Possibly the best coffee I've ever had

Has a subtle smooth sweet taste, this is unlike anything I've tried before. Possibly the best coffee I've ever tried.

Bizarre and Wonderful

I often don't pick up on the listed tasting notes, but this one is an exception. The watermelon and bubblegum is absolutely there, it smells and even tastes like Bubblicious Watermelon Wave, which itself might be a bit concerning if it didn't somehow blend beautifully in this coffee to produce a delicious cup. What an experience!

Ok, so this is your standout coffee for this year.

This is a unique and very flavourful coffee that I keep coming back to make V60 pourovers with. I was dosing at about 23g in, and 345g out, and a reasonably quick draw down, probably at just about...

This is a unique and very flavourful coffee that I keep coming back to make V60 pourovers with. I was dosing at about 23g in, and 345g out, and a reasonably quick draw down, probably at just about 3 minutes. It's giving watermellon jolly rancher vibes for me, and has a pretty strong floral nose. I've got one more dose of this left, and will savour every drop.
