What Prolog Coffee says about this coffee
History
This is our first year working with Emerson Felipe Narváez at El Turpial and the third coffee to be released after Sudan Rume and Laurina. Emerson is a Q Grader and highly driven producer who experiments with rare varieties and advanced processing techniques. This lot is an Ethiopian Landrace, rarely grown in Colombia, and has been carefully adapted to the farm’s high-altitude conditions and microclimate.
The coffee is washed with an extended fermentation: 48 hours in whole cherry, followed by 32 hours in mucilage, before washing and drying on raised beds. The extreme altitude encourages slow cherry maturation, contributing to a complex and expressive cup. In the cup, expect a profile shaped by the Ethiopian Landrace variety and extended fermentation, with pronounced complexity and clarity with notes of citrus, stone fruit and earl grey tea.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

Where each fact came from
A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
