September - Luna Bermudez

The Coffee:

This late harvest Geisha from Diego Bermudez at Finca El Paraiso arrives after a double anaerobic run with specialized yeast, a sharp thermal shock wash, and a slow dehumidifier dry at 1,930 meters in Cauca. What lands in the cup is pure blueberry pie sweetness and grape Jolly Rancher brightness, lifted by soft oolong florals, carried on a creamy body, and stretched into a long, sticky blueberry jam finish. Light roast, clean yet funky, experimental to the core. Another reminder that when the Bermudez crew treats processing like high-precision science, the results taste this playful.

The Roaster:

Kyle Rowsell is the co-founder of September Coffee Company, a specialty micro-roastery based in Ottawa, Canada.

He started the company in 2022 with his wife Natasha Rowsell. Before launching the roastery, Kyle built a solid following as a YouTuber and coffee educator, creating approachable content on home brewing, gear, and specialty coffee. 

September emphasizes light, bright, sweet, and clean single-origin coffees, often featuring interesting processes and direct or carefully chosen relationships with small producers. They roast on a Loring and run a small “Studio” micro-café at their roasting facility.
