CARBON NEUTRAL
We offset any carbon emission from this already low energy production process.
• Production of these mailers is solar-powered and uses no water, acids or bleaches. It's also 'zero waste' because all off-cuts can be put 'back in to the pot' and recycled.

BomBón - Jhon Vergara, Colombia
BomBón is a Double Anaerobic processed coffee that undergoes two different anaerobic processing steps.
BomBón is our first custom coffee from the dynamic duo that lead the Peñas Blancas coffee mill project in Colombia. Jhon Vergara and Nestor Lasso have made a worldwide name for themselves with radical experimental coffee processing. Their coffees have been winners in every global coffee, barista and roasting competition for years. They have achieved great success in bringing anaerobic, yeast and fruit inoculated and co-fermented coffees to market.
This coffee takes that legacy and attempts to do something even more exciting to us. Can these two visionaries create a process that allows them to create sublimely sweet, exceptionally clean, fruit forward expressive coffees that exhibit all of the joy and sweetness of anaerobic processing, but do it at scale. Large Scale. Like can they make a container of mind blowing coffee so that they can generate enough total revenue to pay for the operation of their entire program. And can they do that while achieving 90+ point coffees that blow your mind?
This is that coffee. We took a gamble and committed to this project early and bought multiple shipments over the next year. And we are so glad we did. This coffee is miraculously sweet and vibrant and expresses the joy of Colombian candy and tropical fruits.

At Torque we believe in buying more coffees from fewer producers and fewer origins We go deep rather than wide. We focus our coffee sourcing to work with a smaller group of like minded coffee producers who share our vision for changing the world of coffee.
Technical Info
Preparation Style: Omni, Espresso, and Filter
Our approach to both sourcing and roasting is that every coffee has to be good enough to stand on its own. No blenders, no base coffees, no filler. We take that same approach to roasting and preparation methods. All of our coffees are excellent in nearly every brew method from pour over to espresso.
That being said we have our preferences and so we label our coffees with Espresso, Filter or Omni as a quick way to guide you.
Subscription Type: Modernist and Espressoist
This coffee will be featured in one of these coffee subscriptions.

Proportional Pricing
Out of the $400 billion coffee industry, a meager 5% stays where it's grown, leaving farmers with crumbs. At Torque, we're rewriting this injustice. Our radical approach ensures equity for coffee producers, shifting power dynamics.
Torque Coffees is transforming the coffee industry with Proportional Pricing©, a simple, transparent system that ensures at least 20% of the retail price of every coffee remains in the country of origin. Unlike traditional models that leave producers with scraps, Torque links their earnings directly to the coffee’s retail value, giving them a fairer share. No hidden fees, no complex formulas or giveback schemes—just clear, upfront equity for the people who grow your coffee. By reverse-engineering the supply chain, Torque is creating a fairer system where both producers and consumers know exactly how much value returns to origin.
We're breaking norms, building a fairer future. Torque Coffees reverse-engineered the chain, advocating for a balanced, equitable industry. It's time to empower those who make your coffee. Together, let's dismantle inequality in the coffee world.
Sustainability Info
Since we are all on the consumption end of things we can never get to carbon neutral without stealing the carbon positive from coffee farmers. So instead of aiming for a negative, we are striving to destroy less and be as carbon beautiful as we can.
