🧪 An experimental, explosive, and unforgettable coffee Get ready to transcend the limits of your palate. Metacafeína is a sensory journey roasted by SOLO Brewing Coffee Roasters, crafted from Castillo 720 beans grown by the renowned Diego Bermudez at Finca El Paraíso, in Colombia’s Cauca region. This is a rare microlot, fermented for 720 hours with lactobacillus and finished with thermal shock — resulting in a coffee with bright acidity, complex structure, and deeply layered flavors.🏆 This Castillo 720 has been used by Carlos Escobar, a multiple-time titleholder at the Brewers World Championships, and a finalist in the 2025 competition.
