Dak Coffee – Macaron

Strawberry jam, raspberry and buttercream. Macaron earns its name with big fruit flavours and the sweetness of a well-stocked pastry counter. It’s juicy, full of character and one of Dak’s returning favourites. Easy to understand why.

Behind that sweetness is some exacting work. Brothers Johan and Diego Vergara grow this Red Bourbon at Finca Las Flores in Colombia’s Huila region, on the farm their parents founded more than 30 years ago. Diego oversees fermentation and drying, starting with carefully selected ripe cherries. These pass through alternating stages of controlled heating, fermentation with limited oxygen, and exposure to air before drying. It’s an elaborate process, developed to bring out the jammy fruit and creamy sweetness that make Macaron so memorable.
