colombia zarza is a light-roast pacamara from huila, colombia, produced by rum baba coffeeroasters. the pacamara varietal is known for its large bean size and expressive character, and here it undergoes anaerobic processing, where the coffee ferments in a sealed, oxygen-free environment before drying. that process amplifies sweetness and complexity, which shows up in the cup as honey and honeycomb. because this is a light roast, brew methods that highlight clarity and sweetness work well, such as pour-over or aeropress with water around 90-93°c. avoid over-extraction, as lighter roasts reward a slightly coarser grind and careful timing.

about rum baba coffeeroasters shop & brew-bar east
