{"product_id":"primer-paso","title":"Primer Paso | Colombian Natural Anaerobic Grown Exclusively by The Roasted Record","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePrimer Paso\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the closest we've ever been to the origin of the coffee we roast. Primer Paso is grown exclusively by The Roasted Record on a plot of Finca La Ilusión in Santa Bárbara, Antioquia, in partnership with producer Andrés Cardona, the mind behind Luna Azul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2025 we helped Andrés secure the equipment he needed to process his own cherries. In return, he dedicated a plot of his farm to us for five years. We named it Primer Paso. First steps. In April 2026, the young trees gave their very first harvest, just under 100 kg. Tiny by most measures, but for us, giant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trees are young, so this coffee is still finding itself. There's plenty of acidity and real sweetness behind it, though the sweetness is still a little unrefined at this point. We're okay with that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe're releasing it slowly, a small number of 8 oz bags each Saturday, starting May 23rd, 2026. Each week the roast will be a bit different, so you can taste Primer Paso along with us as we figure out the final steps of a truly farm-to-cup experience. Once this first 100kg is gone, it's gone forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePrimer Paso Natural Anaerobic Process Coffee Tasting Notes: Week 2\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails \u0026amp; Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grapefruit, Citrus, Honey Sweetness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural Anaerobic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Castillo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElevation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,522 MASL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFarm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Finca La Ilusión, Santa Bárbara, Antioquia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Andrés Cardona, grown exclusively for The Roasted Record\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlavor Profile \u0026amp; Tasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis week Primer Paso is showing grapefruit and citrus up front, with honey sweetness behind it.

Andrés tends the trees on the ground in Santa Bárbara; we shape what happens after the harvest lands in Stuart.
