We’ve brewed up something for the dark hours, and it’s not for the faint-hearted. Nightmare Fuel is the work of Torch Coffee and hails from the highlands of Yunnan, China. This one’s been through it, and it shows. 30 days of anaerobic fermentation, 20 days isolation and a long slow dry-down mean it’s rich like Kahlua, sharp like berry hard candy, and finished off with smooth deep cocoa. Nightmare Fuel hits like a fever dream.

Torch Coffee is a pioneering producer and coffee education lab based in Pu’er, Yunnan. Over the past decade, they’ve worked closely with local farming communities to elevate Chinese coffee quality through hands-on collaboration in agronomy, processing, and sensory training. Their approach blends innovation with deep respect for origin - producing coffees that capture the distinct character of Yunnan’s highlands and the care of the people who grow them.

This lot is is an experimental coffee that features a 30-day anaerobic fermentation, an initial drying period to 35% moisture, an additional sealed 20-day fermentation and a final drying to 10-12% moisture
