Elephant Heart — Natural Tabi

Microlot — Finca El Caney

SCA Score: 87.75
Sold out — NL warehouse
Sensory Experience
Pineapple Peach Maple Syrup Jasmine
"A tropical explosion. This Natural Tabi dominates the table with intense notes of fresh pineapple and peach, rounded out by a sticky maple syrup sweetness."
🔥 Roaster's Insight
  • Natural Tabi: The extended fermentation and drying intensify the tropical fruit character. Give this coffee a slightly longer development time to fully resolve the fruit sugars.
  • Result: A showy, high-impact natural that performs equally well as a single-origin filter or an espresso component.

About this Coffee

Elephant Heart is a standout Natural Tabi lot from Gustavo Zuluaga at Finca El Caney, processed as a whole-cherry natural with extended fermentation.

The result is an intensely tropical cup — pineapple and peach up front, maple syrup sweetness carrying through the finish.
