Processing Method:
This colombian single origin coffee undergoes a carefully developed natural process that brings out a vibrant, fruit-forward profile:
Fermentation:
The cherries are fermented anaerobically in plastic barrels for around 15 days, using a unique method that combines carbonic maceration and regular stirring. This allows the must (the liquid released during fermentation) to flow through the cherries, enhancing the formation of sweet, fruity, and spicy notes while boosting body and intensity.
Drying:
Post-fermentation, cherries are moved to lower elevations for controlled drying over approximately 20 days. The process combines 80% solar drying in greenhouses and 20% mechanical drying, passing through four stages: pre-drying, aerating, resting, and final drying. Every step is managed with precision to ensure the development of clean, vibrant flavours.
Final Resting:
Once dried to 9–10% moisture, the coffee rests in hermetically sealed containers to stabilise the flavour compounds, allowing volatile gases to dissipate and eliminating any astringency.
