Sacramento is emerging as a vital hub in the U.S. coffee scene, largely thanks to Opal Coffee Club, an innovative offshoot of Camellia Coffee. Opal, under the guidance of Camila Yuan, introduces cutting-edge coffee fermentation techniques like co-fermenting with koji mold and pineapple yeast. These methods produce flavors that are both wildly unique and harmoniously balanced. Opal specializes in micro-lots that showcase experimental coffee production techniques, often featuring beans from emerging markets and unconventional processing methods. The club not only provides a platform for coffee innovation but also connects with dedicated farmers pushing the boundaries of traditional coffee cultivation and processing. This commitment to innovation and quality is making Sacramento a must-visit destination for coffee enthusiasts.
