Dried Gesha coffee-cherry husks from the Hartmann family's Carmen Estate in Panama — dried for about 20 days, then peeled, sorted and packed with no chemicals used on the coffee. Brews a naturally sweet, fruity-tea-like drink with roughly four times less caffeine than coffee. Source: fiftybeans.cz

A loud co-fermented lot from Edinson Argote's Finca Quebraditas: ripe cherries are oxidised 24 h, dry-pulped, then fermented 72 h with coconut and an enzymatic extract that carries the coconut flavour through the parchment, before a controlled 72 h electric dry. Tastes like Raffaello. Source: fiftybeans.cz
Raffaello · Coconut · Tropical fruit

Caturra Chiroso — a modern variety with Ethiopian genetics — from Edinson Argote's Finca Quebraditas. Whole cherries are dusted with enzymes and fermented in tanks for four days, repeatedly cold-shocked in water to keep the temperature under control, then dried and hulled. Source: fiftybeans.cz
Raspberry cake · Stone fruit · Delicate arabesques

Fiftybeans' permanent decaf: washed Caturra from Sebastián Ramírez's Finca El Placer — water-bath fermented, washed and dried 15 days on shaded patios — then decaffeinated by the ethyl-acetate (sugarcane) method at a facility in Manizales, which strips 99% of the caffeine. Espresso and filter. Source: fiftybeans.cz

Stone fruits · Milk chocolate · Nuts · Florals · Citrus

A honey-processed Catuaí from Johel Monge's Hacienda San Isidro in Costa Rica, grown at around 1,900 m. Fiftybeans put this in their more classic flavour bracket — raisins, nuts and citrus — and recommend it for drinkers who don't want to experiment too much. Works as filter or espresso.

Raisins · Nuts · Citrus

Fiftybeans' “trip to the birthplace of espresso” — the mythical 50/50 valley: 50% natural Brazilian arabica from Sul de Minas and 50% natural Ugandan canephora, roasted dark to suppress acidity and pour a mega-dense, crema-heavy shot. Sold as a 1 kg bag. Source: fiftybeans.cz
Bitter chocolate · Nuts

A white-honey Gesha from Sebastián Ramírez's Finca El Placer: only the cherry skin is removed, leaving about 10% of the pulp on the bean to dry in honey clusters for roughly two weeks before hulling at Vertical's dry mill. Sold as a 150 g bag. Source: fiftybeans.cz
Bergamot · Stone fruit · Vanilla

Fiftybeans' permanent washed Ethiopian: a Heirloom lot from the Yirgacheffe region grown at around 2,000 m. Stone fruit, flowers, citrus and a chocolate-cookie finish — mostly a filter coffee but it also takes espresso. Source: fiftybeans.cz
Stone fruit · Flowers · Citrus · Chocolate cookies

A washed Heirloom from the Chelchele washing station in Gedeo, which buys cherry from local farmers. Density-sorted in water, depulped, fermented 24 h, channel-washed and dried on shaded African beds — juicy, clean and sweet, the way Fiftybeans say Ethiopian coffee used to taste.

A Bolivian micro-lot from Nancy Quispe and Mariano Sóliz in the Taipiplaya community of the Caranavi region — grown on their family farms and washed at one of the local ASOCAFE cooperative's four central stations. Their coffees regularly score well above 85 SCA points, a rarity for Bolivia. Clean, juicy and elegant. Source: fiftybeans.cz
Sour cherries · Citrus · Flowers

A Kirinyaga washed coffee that carries only SL28 and SL34 — no Ruiru or Batian — which Fiftybeans say is why it stays this bright and juicy. Traditional fully washed process: floated, pulped, spontaneously fermented 24 h, then about two weeks on raised beds. Source: fiftybeans.cz
Blackcurrant · Grapefruit · Kiwi

A “boomer espresso” built for the classic 18 g in / 36 g out recipe, developed with Jan and Vendulka Zábojník of the Brno café Take5. 50% washed Kenya SL28/SL34 from Kirinyaga, 50% washed Colombian Caturra from the Huitaca project — espresso-like body with a vibrant juiciness. Source: fiftybeans.cz
Candied gooseberry · Amaretto · Chocolate · Marzipan

An unusually good decaf: Óscar Hernández decaffeinates at Finca Los Nogales itself, using ethyl acetate produced on the farm from cherry-husk juice and a yeast strain he cultivated. Because it happens on fresh cherries still in parchment, the cup keeps its fruit — passion fruit, ginger candy, raspberry. Source: fiftybeans.cz

Papayo — a genetic sibling of the Ombligón used in Disco Candy — from Marlon Rojas Pérez's Finca La Reserva. Cherries are oxidised in-skin for 48 h, depulped, anaerobically fermented for 88 h, washed and dried 15 days on African beds. Clean, sweet and Ethiopia-like. Source: fiftybeans.cz
Mango · Flowers · Honey

A blend of a fruit- and enzyme-fermented Colombian coffee — 48 h sealed “activation,” then fermentation with enzymes, dried cherries and sugarcane juice before mechanical drying — with a traditionally washed Ethiopian coffee for balance. Intensely sweet and fruit-forward; Fiftybeans call it one of the best coffees of 2026. Source: fiftybeans.cz
Vanilla · Cherries · Disco

A blend of two lots from Óscar Hernández's Finca Los Nogales, both fermented in mosto — the cherry juice released at depulping, mixed with yeast and used to ferment the beans, which builds tropical-fruit notes and a distinctive texture. Cherries are pasteurised at 80 °C first, then dried on shaded beds. Source: fiftybeans.cz
