Oh Que Sera: 120hr indigenous fruit co-ferment castillo (honey, soursop, lulo) // sourced from our Afro-Colombian fam, the Dulcey Family, in El Tambo, Colombia.

THE STORY:

Oh Que Será is a collaboration between Cxffeeblack (Memphis) and Café Solo (El Tambo, Colombia) - inspired by Willie Colón's legendary salsa song and the question it asks: What will it be?

This coffee celebrates the connection between Memphis and Colombia. Between the diaspora and resistance. Between farm and city.

The chiva - a colorful Colombian bus that transports coffee from farm to city - meets Rosa Parks' bus from the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. The coffee chiva symbolizes resistance and connection across borders.

That chiva arrives at Cxffeeblack HQ loaded with flavors, music, and stories. That's where the salsa is born.

THE COFFEE:

Inspired by salpicón - the Colombian mixed fruit drink - this coffee is colorful, playful, and wildly fruity.

40% co-fermented with lulo and soursop. Blended with fruity washed coffees bursting with papaya, pineapple, red fruits, lime, sweet grapefruit, and tamarind.

Tasting Notes: Papaya, pineapple, red fruits, lime, sweet grapefruit, tamarind
Profile: Lactic, funky, expressive, surprising

A cup that changes each time - like a song you rediscover. Like salsa.

A TRIBUTE:

Willie Colón passed away just before this release. This coffee is an ode to his legacy, to salsa, and to the question that drives us forward.

Before cooking, listen to music. Salsa is best.
