Gold Digger Washed Colombia

Gold Digger: 50 hours in the bath and zero boredom

If you think that "coffee is just coffee", the team from the Slovak roastery Spojka Roastery will prove you wrong faster than the first espresso in the morning. Gold Digger (also known as Golden Crush) is the result of an obsessive approach to processing. Nothing here happened by chance.

What happened here?

Before the Caturra beans were roasted, they underwent a specific process that extracted the best from them:

• Pre-fermentation: 12 hours of resting in whole fruit to enhance fruity and floral notes.
• Long bath: 50 hours of aerobic fermentation in concrete tanks – this is where the deep, multi-layered profile is built.
• Aging: The coffee rested for a total of one month in GrainPro bags and silos so that the flavors stopped fighting and started to cooperate perfectly.

The result? A tightrope walker's balance

The taste is a wild ride, but under full control. On one hand, you have crisp mandarin, orange, and green tea, and on the other, a solid base of white chocolate, caramel, and almonds. At the very end, an unexpected guest arrives: brown pepper, which completes the whole and makes you immediately want another sip.

In short

• Roastery: Spojka Roastery (Slovakia)
• Variety: Caturra
• Profile: Mandarin, white chocolate, caramel, brown pepper
• Method: Pour-over, modern espresso
• Vibe: Sweetness with character

How to brew?

This bean has enormous potential for exploration. It will work great in pour-over methods, where it will show its tea-citrus face, but as a modern, bright espresso, it will surely surprise you.
