Felipe Arcilla – Jardines del Eden Strawberry Jam

Felipe Arcilla – Jardines del Eden Strawberry Jam (Honey, Anaerobic 72h w/ Wine Yeast)

Good for you if: you want a coffee that feels like spooning strawberry jam straight from the jar—sweet, creamy, and playful—but still clean enough for serious brewers who care about structure and clarity in the cup.

Jardines del Eden in Quindío is one of Colombia’s playgrounds for experimental processing, and Felipe Arcilla’s Strawberry Jam profile shows how far you can push sweetness and fruit intensity while keeping the cup tidy and structured. This lot uses a honey process followed by a 72‑hour anaerobic fermentation with wine yeast, building layers of jammy red fruit, vanilla creaminess, and confectionary sweetness without tipping into over‑fermented territory.

In the cup, it lands firmly in the dessert zone: strawberry jam right at the front, vanilla and white chocolate through the middle, and a gentle raisin finish that lingers. Brew it as a juicy V60 or a modern, lower‑ratio espresso and you get the same story—big, candy‑like sweetness and enough structure to make extractions feel precise rather than messy.

Why this is a must‑buy: honey + anaerobic wine‑yeast lots like this from Jardines del Eden are produced in small runs and rarely taste this clean at such high sweetness. If you’ve ever wanted to show guests what “dessert coffee” can mean in specialty—without needing to explain processing for ten minutes—this is the kind of cup that tells the story on its own from the first sip.
