【2026/08/10】COLOMBIA San Rafael Watermelon Risaralda Pereira Yeast Fermentation Washed

ひとくち飲んで、たぶん驚きます。

コロンビアのサン・ラファエル「ウォーターメロン」。

名前は大げさじゃなくて、本当にスイカを思わせるみずみずしい甘さが口いっぱいに広がる豆です。秘密は製法。専用の酵母と、なんと本物のスイカを一緒に100時間ほど発酵させています。スイカからメロンのような甘さへ、最後はマンゴーやバナナの余韻がふわり。軽やかで、暑い時期にすっと飲める爽やかさです。

ちなみに、焙煎から2週間以上待つとフレーバーが一気に開きます。すぐ飲みたい気持ちを少しだけ我慢して、いちばん美味しいタイミングを狙ってみてください。夏のご褒美みたいな一杯です。

One sip, and it will probably surprise you.

This is Colombia San Rafael “Watermelon.”
The name is not an exaggeration — this coffee truly fills your mouth with a juicy sweetness reminiscent of fresh watermelon.

The secret lies in the process.
This lot is fermented for around 100 hours together with a dedicated yeast and, remarkably, real watermelon.

The flavor moves from watermelon-like juiciness into a sweetness reminiscent of melon, then finishes with a soft aftertaste of mango and banana.
It is light, refreshing, and incredibly easy to drink, especially in the warmer season.

One little tip: the flavor opens up beautifully after more than two weeks from the roast date.
We know it is tempting to drink it right away, but try waiting just a little — and aim for its most delicious timing.

A cup that feels like a little summer reward.
