Product Information

Rayo is a lightning-bolt cup–juicy, chocolatey, and bright in all the right places. Itʼs a 100% women-produced washed coffee from Luz Helena Salazar (La Leona farm, Armenia/Quindío, Colombia).

Cherries are picked at peak ripeness, floated and hand-sorted, then undergo ~30 hours of underwater fermentation before pulping. The parchment is gently washed and dried in temperature-controlled conditions to reach ideal moisture.

Brew Tips

Espresso: Bright + chocolatey; great as a straight shot or cortado.
Americano: Pull a double shot over hot water for a longer cup; the caramel and orange stay clear and juicy.
Flat white: Caramel and chocolate come through silky steamed milk; a ristretto-style double keeps the brightness from getting lost.
Pour-over: Brings out citrus and berries–use a slightly finer grind if it tastes too light.

Tasting Notes

Caramel, chocolate, orange, lime, raisins and berries. Juicy, chocolatey and bright, with a clean, crisp finish.

Origin & Processing

Produced by Luz Helena Salazar at La Leona farm (Armenia, Quindío, Colombia), grown at high altitude (~1,450–1,500 m.a.s.l.) in volcanic ash soil. Cherries are picked at peak ripeness, floated and hand-sorted, then undergo ~30 hours of underwater fermentation before pulping. The parchment is gently washed and dried in temperature-controlled conditions to reach ideal moisture.

Freshness & Storage

Keep sealed, cool, and dry; avoid fridge odours and humidity. For the best flavour, enjoy within a few weeks of opening.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What grind do you sell?

At Zesto, we only offer whole bean coffee – for maximum freshness. Once ground, coffee begins to lose its natural aromas almost immediately – but keeping it whole locks in all that richness until the very moment you decide it's time for a cup. It's the difference between a good coffee and a great one. We believe that real flavour is worth the extra minute it takes to grind – your taste buds will thank you!

How do I store coffee?

Keep it sealed, cool, and dry—away from heat and sunlight.

When will my coffee arrive?

Shipping options and pricing are shown at checkout. Youʼll receive tracking once your order is dispatched.

How do I contact you?

Email support@zesto.coffee (or wholesale@zesto.coffee for wholesale).

What's inside my order?

Each order includes your 250g bag of coffee, plus a collectible Meistercard tucked inside the bag.

What does "fermented" mean for Rayo's processing?

Rayo's cherries undergo ~30 hours of underwater fermentation before washing — it's what gives the cup its clean, vivid sweetness and bright fruit notes.
