A bold and fruit-driven natural from Huila with a surprisingly creamy structure. Dark chocolate leads the cup, followed by bursts of blueberry and ripe papaya that bring brightness and tropical sweetness without overwhelming the profile. Despite its expressive processing character, the cup remains remarkably clean and composed. Rich enough for espresso, but especially memorable with milk, where it takes on the character of chocolate milk and pralines.

Roaster’s Description

Luis Anibal Calderon was a Top 30 finalist in the 2016 Huila Best Cup competition and has become known for his meticulous approach to coffee processing. Starting with a very small lot gifted by his father, he gradually expanded his farm while refining fermentation and drying techniques together with his family, who continue to operate the farm as a close-knit team.

For this lot, only fully ripe cherries were selected before undergoing 25 hours of dry fermentation. The coffee was then dried slowly for approximately 25 days in a parabolic dryer, helping develop both sweetness and clarity in the final cup.

The Colombia variety itself was developed by Cenicafé between 1968 and 1982 as one of the earliest Catimor-type hybrids, created to combine disease resistance with high productivity.

In the cup, however, this coffee moves far beyond functionality, delivering a profile that is intense, structured, and unexpectedly elegant with a dense body, vibrant fruit character, and versatility across brewing styles. Process-forward yet balanced, it performs exceptionally well with milk and offers a uniquely indulgent espresso experience.

Brew It Right

All coffees are sold exclusively as whole beans.

Grinding just before brewing preserves aromatics, structure, and clarity in the cup. For that reason, JONNY does not offer pre-ground coffee.

If you don’t yet own a grinder, consider this your sign. A proper grinder will elevate your coffee more than almost any other tool. (You’ll find a curated selection of hand grinders here.)

In the meantime, make friends with your local barista and ask them to grind the beans for your preferred brew method. They’ll understand.

Freshness, With Intention

Every coffee lists its roast date. I am committed to offering beans at their optimal drinking window. Freshly roasted coffee needs time to rest:

• Filter coffee is typically best starting 7 days after roast.

• Espresso benefits from 10–14 days of rest for balance and stability.

Coffee remains vibrant for several months when stored properly, but for peak clarity and sweetness, I recommend enjoying it within 4 months of the roast date. To maintain high standards:

• Coffees that reach 6 weeks from roast are offered at a reduced price.

• Coffees that reach 12 weeks from roast are removed from inventory.

This ensures that what arrives at your door reflects the level of quality I stand behind.

Coffee Orders

All coffee sales are final. Due to the perishable nature of roasted coffee, returns and refunds are not accepted.

That said, if there is a mistake with your order or your coffee arrives damaged, please email ciao@jonnyroma.com with:

• Your order number

• A brief description of the issue

• Clear photos of the package and product

Any issue will be reviewed carefully and handled as quickly as possible.
