Federal x Hüüp Colombia – Fermented

A special Colombia coffee that stands out with mango and strawberry notes, featuring an intense fruit character, lively, aromatic, and with a sweet finish.

Developed through a collaboration between Federal Coffee and Hüüp Coffee, this Colombia undergoes a special fermentation process, distinct from classic coffee processing methods.

Developed within the scope of Federal Coffee and Hüüp Coffee's R&D efforts, this method relies on managing the coffee bean's fermentation process under controlled conditions. The goal is to allow fruity aromas to emerge in a more distinct, layered, and intense way while preserving the bean's natural character.

The biochemical transformations that occur in the bean's aromatic structure during controlled fermentation give the classic Colombia profile a brighter and fruitier character. Thus, mango and strawberry notes particularly stand out in the cup, while sweetness, fruity vibrancy, and aromatic intensity create a balanced structure.

Aroma & Taste Profile

In the first sip, the tropical and juicy character of mango is clearly felt. Then, the sweet, red-fruited structure of strawberry adds a livelier and more rounded layer to the cup.

While liquid fermentation supports these two aromas being perceived more clearly and intensely, it creates a clean, lively, and long-lasting sweet finish in the cup.

The resulting profile, while maintaining the balanced structure of classic Colombia coffees, gains a fruitier, more aromatic, and more remarkable character with fermentation.

Roast

Medium Roast

The medium roast profile aims to preserve the fruity aromas developed through fermentation and to carry the bean's natural sweetness into the cup in a balanced way.

Brewing Recommendation

To best experience this coffee's aromatic character:

• Place only the amount of coffee you will use daily into the grinder hopper.
• Do not leave ground coffee sitting for a long time.
• Brew immediately after grinding.
• It yields particularly good results with filter coffee machines and third-wave brewing methods.

While mango and strawberry aromas are more clearly perceived in pour-over methods like V60 and Chemex, a more intense and sweet cup can be obtained on the espresso side.

Federal x Hüüp

This series is a product of the Federal Coffee x Hüüp Coffee collaboration, which highlights not only the origin of the coffee but also the aromatic potential created by the fermentation, roasting, and brewing processes together.

At Federal Coffee, instead of keeping our coffees in large stocks for a long time, we prepare them with a weekly roasting schedule. Thus, we aim to carry the aromatic character developed through fermentation to your cup as fresh as possible.
