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 — Carmenza Monsalve & Guillermo Álvarez. How we choose
№ 01
Frog Facts
- Washed · Rum Barrel Post-Processing — The fruit is removed before drying, leaving the variety and the soil to speak — cleaner, more transparent, more acidic.
- Aged three months in oak rum barrels — turned by hand every single day. The barrels come from the farm's own cooperage in Caldas; the farm came out of the cooperage, not the other way round.
- Castillo: 23 years of breeding at Cenicafé before it was released in 2005.

The Story
Carmenza Monsalve & Guillermo Álvarez,
Finca La Primavera.
Carmenza Monsalve and her husband, Guillermo Álvarez, started this coffee together. Today Carmenza runs it: at Finca La Primavera in Caldas, she decides which lot goes into which barrel, when it goes into the oak and when it comes out.

One painting,
made for this coffee.
An original oil painting by Nata Orlo, made in response to Pirate Frog — never a graphic, never repeated. A share of every bag returns to the artist.
