PROCESS DESCRIPTION:
This Caturra and Colombia blend starts with a 48-hour anaerobic pre-fermentation of the cherries in plastic bags, fostering initial flavor development. After depulping, the beans, still in mucilage, are inoculated with dried, ground cherry to enhance their fruity profile. The fermentation is enriched with sugarcane, increasing sugar content and intensifying the five-day fermentation. Once fermentation is complete, the beans are pre-dried under sunlight and then mechanically dried in static silos. After a 30-day stabilization period, the flavors harmonize, resulting in a complex, well-balanced cup.
