MELONHEAD: Colombia Nitro Fermentation

Melonhead is a wild, high‑energy coffee produced by Julio Madrid at Finca La Riviera. The Nitro Fermentation process paired with Caturra varietal beans pushes its expressiveness to another level.

The cup is unmistakable you’ll know it’s a melon‑driven profile from the moment you crack open the bag. It carries a vibrant mix of sweetness and tartness throughout, creating a distinct and memorable flavour experience. The result is a unique, fruit‑forward cup that remains highly enjoyable from start to finish.

Tasting Notes: Cantaloupe, NERDS Candy, Watermelon, Honeydew
