Wonderstate Coffee
Peru La Pomarrosa Single Origin
Merci Fernandez stands as a beacon in the coffee world, embodying both dedication to the craft of farming and the next generation of producers.

Her role in the Colasay community reflects a new generation of coffee farmers dedicated to quality and innovation, ensuring that the region’s potential for producing outstanding coffee is fully realized.
At the heart of Merci’s coffee lies a distinctive Bourbon variety, carefully cultivated and processed to showcase the unique terroir of Colasay. Through meticulous harvesting and
fermentation, her coffee exhibits exceptional complexity and sweetness. Her role in leading the local delivery station and cupping lab underscores her commitment to quality, as she works to separate and blend coffees according to their unique characteristics.
