BEANOGRAPHY

Magnolia is the bright, floral espresso in the Phoenix lineup — sweet, lifted, and full of aromatic sparkle. This edition comes from Frank Torres and his family’s La Indonesia farm in La Unión, Nariño, Colombia.

La Indonesia has been in the Torres family for more than 40 years. Frank dedicates most of the farm’s just-over-two hectares to coffee and plantains, and his background in specialty coffee informs the way he grows and processes distinctive lots. Before focusing on his own farm work, he worked with Starbucks’ specialty coffee program and later as a green buyer for several importers.

This Magnolia lot carries a more playful expression than the previous version. Frank’s sealed-tank “reposado” processing helps amplify the cup’s distinctive profile, bringing sweet red fruit, candy-like brightness, and creamy cookie depth. In the cup, this means pomegranate, Twizzlers, Oreo Cookies, sweet cherry, and a soft cookie finish — vivid, sweet, and unmistakably expressive.

PROCESSING METHOD

Fully Washed

In a fully washed process, the coffee cherry is depulped so the outer fruit is removed before fermentation and washing. This reduces the influence of extended fruit contact and allows the coffee’s cultivar character, growing conditions, and processing clarity to come forward more directly.

For this Magnolia lot, the offer sheet notes Frank Torres’s sealed-tank “reposado” processing. In customer-friendly terms, this means the washed structure remains clean while the processing environment helps intensify sweetness and aromatic expression.

In the cup, this means pomegranate, Twizzlers, Oreo Cookies, sweet cherry, and creamy cookie depth — bright, playful, and sweetly composed.
