Wilder Lazo

Wilder Lazo sources coffee from the Huila region of Colombia, with growing altitudes spanning from 1470 to 2100 meters. This geographic range provides the high-altitude environment necessary for cultivating specialty coffee varieties. The varietal landscape features geisha as the dominant cultivar, alongside maragogype, pink bourbon, SL28, and sidra. This mix includes several distinct regional and rare cultivars represented across the catalog lots. Processing methods for these coffees include washed, anaerobic natural, natural, yellow honey, and anaerobic washed treatments. The producer applies multiple preparation styles across the harvest selections, incorporating both traditional washed techniques and experimental anaerobic fermentations. The catalog footprint includes 16 total coffees indexed, with 6 currently in stock and 12 different roasters carrying these lots. The average Cherrybook Index across these offerings is 62.2. Recent catalog entries show a variety of pairings between roasters and processing styles. These include a washed sidra roasted by PERC Coffee, an anaerobic natural SL28 featured in drip bags by Plot Roasting, a natural geisha named La Dinastia from Cometeer, an anaerobic natural geisha from Steady State Roasting, a washed geisha and maragogype blend named La Dinastía Maragesha from Dark Woods Coffee, and an anaerobic natural offering from Bella Alejandria also via Dark Woods Coffee. The work of Wilder Lazo is characterized by a combination of diverse varietal cultivation, ranging from geisha to sidra, and a flexible approach to processing methods that spans conventional washed preparations and experimental anaerobic techniques.
