Roaster notes
Cake in a Cup
If you like cake, you'll like Milky Cake — a standout. Sweet, spiced, and full of character, it reminds us of pistachio, cardamom, vanilla sponge, and warming chai. Dessert-like, but with balance. A real treat in the cup.
Flavour Notes: Kiwi, Purple Grapes, Nougat, Brown Sugar
This unique profile was developed exclusively with DAK's Colombian partners Cata Export and Diego Bermudez, known for pushing the boundaries of processing. Castillo cherries are fermented anaerobically for 48 hours at 20°C, then washed using thermal shock. Drying is carefully controlled over 34 hours at 35°C and 25% humidity, bringing the beans to a final moisture of 10–11%.
What is the roast recency?
We recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 8-12 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (at least 2 weeks but no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12). For peak flavour, if you are looking to use immediately, we recommend purchasing the rested beans. If you are adding to your rotation of beans, we recommend purchasing the standard and allowing the beans to naturally rest and mature whilst you rotate through other beans.
