About This Coffee and Producer
This coffee comes from the Cauca region of Colombia, produced by Oscar Riascos and Wilton Benitez of Granja Paraíso 92. This lot was grown on La Macarena, one of the member farms of Granja Paraíso 92.
Granja Paraíso 92 is one of Colombia’s leading innovators in specialty coffee processing. With their microbiology lab, quality lab, and processing plant, Oscar and Wilton are able to carefully control fermentation and drying to produce coffees that are vibrant, unique, and expressive.
This Caturra lot undergoes a particularly intricate process. Cherries are first sterilized with ozonated water and ultraviolet light, then anaerobically fermented with a custom yeast culture for 52 hours before a thermal shock wash. After pulping, the coffee undergoes a second 48-hour anaerobic fermentation with the pulped mucilage, followed by a second thermal shock wash. Finally, a third fermentation lasting 68 hours precedes 48 hours of drying. This multi-step, carefully monitored process results in a cup that is both tropical and precise
Why Moonwake Selected This Coffee
Moonwake deeply values their ongoing relationship with Wilton and his team at Granja Paraíso 92. This thermal shock Caturra stood out due to its layered fermentations and multiple thermal shocks, yet it remained surprisingly clean and tropical rather than overly funky.
In the cup, it offers bright, fruit-forward flavors reminiscent of candy, but with a playful, tropical twist—a mixed tropical paradise that is fun, expressive, and refreshing. It’s a testament to Granja Paraíso 92’s commitment to process innovation and their ongoing efforts to elevate the reach and enjoyment of specialty coffee.
We recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 8-12 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (at least 2 weeks but no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12). For peak flavour, if you are looking to use immediately, we recommend purchasing the rested beans. If you are adding to your rotation of beans, we recommend purchasing the standard and allowing the beans to naturally rest and mature whilst you rotate through other beans.
