Spice Cosmic – Flavor Design Coffee by Juan Puerta | Café Exótico, Quindío
Spice Cosmic is not a classic co-fermented coffee – it's Flavor Design. Instead of a single fruit, rosemary, cardamom, blackberry, and glucose are precisely combined during fermentation. The result is an aroma profile unlike any other coffee: floral, spicy, and fruity all at once – complex, yet clear.
The coffee comes from Juan Puerta and Finca La Sirena in Quindío, Colombia. In 2025, it was awarded as Café Exótico of the Quindío region – one of Colombia's most traditional coffee-growing regions.

Processing
Flavor Design – Fermentation with osmotic dehydration
Spice Cosmic goes a step further than classic co-fermentation. Instead of a single fruit, a specific aroma profile is designed here: rosemary, cardamom, blackberry, and glucose are combined with the coffee beans during fermentation. Through osmotic dehydration, the aromas migrate into the bean – the result is not an added flavor, but a profile that emerges during the fermentation itself. Juan Puerta calls this approach Flavor Design.
About this Coffee
Spice Cosmic is a specialty coffee from Juan Puerta and Finca La Sirena in Quindío, Colombia. Juan and his partner Geraldine Puerta founded Sens Coffee with the goal of specifically developing fermentation processes. In 2025, Spice Cosmic was awarded as Café Exótico of the Quindío region – an acknowledgment for their work with experimental processing methods in one of Colombia's most traditional coffee regions.
The concept behind Spice Cosmic is called Flavor Design: instead of fermenting the coffee with a single fruit, multiple ingredients are combined to create an aroma profile that does not occur naturally. The Castillo beans are selectively harvested at an altitude of 1,550 meters and undergo a controlled fermentation with rosemary, cardamom, blackberry, and glucose. Through osmotic dehydration, the aromas penetrate the bean – the result is a complex, multifaceted profile with floral, spicy, and fruity notes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Flavor Design Coffee?
Flavor Design is the method by which Juan and Geraldine Puerta develop experimental flavor profiles at Finca La Sirena. Instead of fermenting the coffee with a single fruit, multiple ingredients are precisely combined — for Spice Cosmic, these are rosemary, cardamom, blackberry, and glucose. During fermentation, the aromas migrate into the coffee bean through osmotic dehydration. It is not a flavored coffee — everything happens during fermentation, before roasting.
What does Spice Cosmic taste like?
Spice Cosmic offers a complex profile that tastes integrated in the mouth — spicy, fruity, and floral all at once. You won't distinguish the individual ingredients (rosemary, cardamom, blackberry) separately; they blend during fermentation into a complex aroma profile with warm spice, dark berries, and syrupy sweetness. The layers come out most clearly in a V60 or Origami.
What does the award "Café Exótico de la región Quindío 2025" mean?
In 2025, Spice Cosmic was awarded as Café Exótico of the Quindío region at the Roasted Coffee Champions Quindío — a regional Colombian competition that evaluates innovative coffee processing. The "Café Exótico" category specifically rewards lots that push the boundaries of fermentation and aroma profile without losing cup quality. For us, it's an independent, jury-validated confirmation of what Juan and Geraldine are developing at Finca La Sirena.
Is Spice Cosmic suitable for coffee beginners?
Spice Cosmic is more of a coffee for curious drinkers with experience in specialty coffee — its profile is unusual and experimental. For an introduction to our Sens Coffee range, we recommend the Apricot OD: its juicy, ripe stone fruit profile is more accessible and reads like a familiar, fruit-forward filter coffee. Spice Cosmic unfolds its full complexity if you already have a reference for osmotic dehydration.
