Super sweet, like cooked strawberries, with the loud, funky energy of grape-flavoured candy. Stone fruit notes like peach run throughout, finishing smooth and sweet like creamy milk chocolate. In the cup: cooked strawberries, grape candy, peach, and milk chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSebastián Ramírez is a fourth-generation coffee producer who's been growing coffee for over 13 years. Early in his career he began exploring the nuances of fermentation, and today he's regarded as a master of advanced processing techniques like co-fermentation and carbonic maceration. His mission is to make coffee accessible and exciting — a mission he champions both in his own processing work and as a mentor for the Unblended Young Producer Program. Sebastián and his coffees are, fittingly, \"anything but ordinary,\" and this strawberry co-ferment has always been a testament to that tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHandpicked, quality-sorted cherries undergo 120 hours of anaerobic fermentation alongside added wine yeast, dehydrated strawberries, and fruit glucose, with pH monitored diligently throughout. The coffee is then pulped and undergoes a further 72 hours of anaerobic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with CO2 injected during this stage. Drying happens in two steps: shaded patios at a controlled 40°C for 20-25 days, then a further 15 days resting in GrainPro bags.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe double fermentation — 120 hours with added strawberries and glucose, then 72 hours with CO2 injection — is the defining step. It's what builds the intensely sweet, cooked strawberry and grape candy character that define this cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSweet and funky — cooked strawberry sweetness up front, with the loud energy of grape candy running throughout.
