🐾 Day 18: The Silent Meow
Kaffeelix - Colombia Sebastian Ramirez Midnight Bloom
The human fell asleep, so I knocked something heavy over to check if he was breathing.
Love is anxiety in its purest form.

☕ Coffee of the Day — Colombia Midnight Bloom
Today's cup features a true gem from Kaffeelix — a lot from the El Placer farm, managed by Sebastián Ramírez. This coffee, without false hopes, declares: "if you want flowers, you've got flowers; if you want intensity, you've got that too." Midnight Bloom is another testament to Ramírez's artistry in working with Pink Bourbon and a natural fermentation profile, delivering a multifaceted, elegant, and decidedly memorable flavor.
🌱 Details
- Origin: Colombia (El Placer, Quindío)
- Producer: Sebastián Ramírez
- Botanical Variety: Pink Bourbon

🌸 What does this mean in your cup?
Midnight Bloom is a coffee that can sound like a concert in a garden full of night-blooming flowers. It reveals its delicate, floral notes of lavender and orange blossom, along with an intense sweetness with hints of plum or dark chocolate.
😼 Epilogue — The feline way to silence
After the dramatic breathing test (read: heavy object + sleeping human), Teodor sat with a cup of Midnight Bloom. After a moment, with the detachment of a philosopher, he went for a walk because "coffee is not good for sleeping people."
