Unroasted Coffee

Green Mist

Grade Excelso

Green Mist is produced by Ana Maria Donneys, a fifth-generation coffee grower and active voice in Women in Coffee, at Finca Primitivo in Quindío, Colombia, at around 1,500 masl. This special lot undergoes a double fermentation protocol combining carbonic maceration (24h + 72h) with anaerobic conditions, guided by selected yeasts. This controlled approach allows for a more precise transformation of sugars during fermentation, shaping a clean and well-defined aromatic profile.

In the cup, Green Mist is fresh, refined, and highly aromatic. Notes of crystalline mint, white jasmine, and soft herbal tones. A medium, well-integrated citric acidity supports the profile, while a creamy and silky body, brings texture and a smooth sweet finish that brings texture and balance.

Available in very small quantities, Green Mist is an excellent choice for roasters looking to work with more aromatic and unconventional profiles. It performs especially well in filter, while lighter espresso roasts highlight its sweetness and texture. A distinctive addition to a specialty coffee lineup.

What is so special about this coffee?

At Finca Primitivo, processing is handled with a high level of control and intention. For this lot, Ana Maria Donneys applies a double fermentation protocol combining carbonic maceration and extended anaerobic fermentation, reaching up to 96 hours. The use of selected yeasts allows for a more precise development of sugars and aromatic compounds, resulting in a profile that is structured, consistent, and clearly defined.

What sets this coffee apart is its focus on clarity over intensity. Instead of pushing heavy or over-fermented notes, the process enhances fresh, herbal, and floral characteristics, giving the cup a clean and refined expression. Careful drying, combining raised beds and mechanical methods, ensures even moisture and preserves stability, offering roasters a coffee that is both distinctive and reliable across different roast approaches.
