Coming from the same farm as Scarlet Extreme (last year's favourite coffee) and Cherry Velvet, Los Patios, which is Coffee Quest’s processing headquarters in the vibrant coffee-growing region of Gigante, Huila.
 
Born from the Research & Development team’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of coffee processing, Watermelon Dream takes the familiar Castillo variety and transforms it with a unique fermentation process, blending tradition with a bold, creative touch. 
 
The journey begins with local producers from small farms nestled between 1,600 and 1,900 meters above sea level. After a careful 12-hour aerobic fermentation in cherry on their farms, the de-pulped coffee makes its way to Los Patios. Here, the R&D team steps in, adding a custom watermelon concentrate and a proprietary solution that unlocks new flavour potentials. This fermentation and absorption phase lasts for two days, after which the coffee is dried in mechanical silos for 8 days.
 
Watermelon Dream isn’t just a coffee – it’s an exploration of what’s possible when innovation meets tradition, crafted to reflect the hard work and creativity that go into every step of the process.
