Meet Bean Batota and his coffee " Bluberry Muffin "

The Super Funky Wanderer Bean Batota, born in a land that pulsed with coffee before it pulsed with people, among small farms that passed down the secrets of coffee beans from one generation to the next.

From childhood, he was different from the rest; abundant harvests never preoccupied him, nor did large quantities tempt him. His heart always leaned toward what was rarer, towards what

carried a hidden story and a character that could never be repeated twice. These are the Super Funky crops. They are not born every season, and they do not merely differ… they rebel. Bean

Battuta always says:

“Super Funky… is a gift the earth gives when it is happy”.

Farmer: Bryan Alvear

Area: Huila, Colombia

Altitude: Up to 1600 MASL

Processing Method: Washed

Variety: Caturra

Flavour: Blueberry, Mint, Floral

Buckle up. We are taking a trip to the high altitudes of Huila, Colombia, where tradition meets radical experimentation.

If you thought you knew washed coffee, think again. This isn't just a morning brew; it is a masterclass in fruit modulation. We are thrilled to introduce Blueberry Muffin, a Caturra variety so vibrant and expressive, it demanded a spot in our Super Funky Collection.

The Mad Scientist of Las Palmas

At the helm of the Las Palmas farm is Bryan Alvear. Bryan isn't just a farmer; he is a fourth-generation producer with 18 years of dirt-under-the-fingernails experience. But where others stick to the script, Bryan rewrites it.

Leveraging his family’s heritage knowledge, Bryan has pivoted hard toward innovation. He treats his farm like a laboratory, obsessively tweaking variables to create cup profiles that are clean, consistent, and frankly, mind-blowing.

The "Recipe": How the Muffin is Made

This coffee gets its name from a wild 'recipe.' After harvesting, the beans undergo a unique fermentation process where they are marinated with molasses for sweetness and fresh blueberry pulp for flavor. The result? The beans absorb the fruit notes, creating a natural, juicy profile that tastes just like a blueberry muffin.

After this marathon of fermentation, the coffee is washed and sun-dried on patios for up to 15 days, sealing in that wild flavor profile.

The result is a cup that defies logic. It is juicy, expressive, and incredibly well-balanced. You get the loud, clean fruit notes of fresh blueberries, supported by the heavy, sweet body of molasses and panela. It is a Blueberry Muffin in liquid form.
