The Origin
The "Red Bomb" comes from Los Cedros farm, nestled in the steep and challenging terrain of the mountains of Antioquia, Colombia.
The farm is run by the Builes family, led by the young visionary Juan David. In the Ebéjico region, steep, distinctive microclimates meet state-of-the-art agricultural technology.
Originally developed by the "Proyecto Renacer," Los Cedros has successfully scaled this project to bring the unique character of this coffee to the world.
Processing & Harvesting
This coffee is the result of an extremely elaborate and precise process.
On the steep slopes, the cherries are hand-picked and transported via an innovative "funnel system" to a central collection point. The core is the 120-hour fermentation process: first, the whole cherries rest for 72 hours, followed by another 48 hours in their own fruit pulp (mucilage).
This method creates the "flavor bomb" it's named after.
The Philosophy
At Los Cedros, tradition and the vision of the next generation merge. Juan David, a young agricultural engineer, represents a generational change in the Colombian coffee industry. Supported by administrator Don Moncho and a certified Q-Grader, the focus is on empowering young people and fair remuneration for coffee pickers.
Innovation here is not understood as an experiment, but as a necessary standard for sustainable premium quality.
We chose Red Bomb because it perfectly represents courageous craftsmanship and the future of Colombia. In an industry often dominated by older generations, Juan David, as a young entrepreneur, demonstrates how to unlock completely new taste worlds through scientific fermentation methods.
With this coffee, we support the preservation of Colombian heritage through the innovative power of youth, while enjoying a profile that delights adventurous coffee lovers.
