Every Flying Frog coffee is available only while the lot lasts. Once it is gone, it is gone — we celebrate single harvests rather than permanent blends.
Roasted light in Amsterdam on electric machines running on 100% green energy, from a named producer — Shady Bayter. How we choose
№ 01
Frog Facts
- Anaerobic Honey Fermentation — Sealed away from oxygen, the cherries ferment slowly and evenly — a controlled way to build layered, wine-like fruit.
- Fermented with red apple and lactobacillus — the apple is in the tank, not just the name.
- Twenty days of stabilisation in fique-lined bags before it leaves the farm.
- A blend of two varieties, on purpose: Caturra for sweetness, Colombia for structure.

The Story
Shady Bayter,
.
It begins with selection: Caturra and Colombia cherries, blended to give a balanced and structured base rather than a single sharp note.

One painting,
made for this coffee.
