SL-28 is well-known in Kenyan coffees, but this special lot was grown in Colombia. There's a subtle hint of process flavour, but the cup is otherwise very clean — cherry, mandarin orange, and grape, with a bit of red wine in the finish and nice depth and clarity. In the cup: cherry, mandarin orange, and grape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e Maria Rodriguez spearheads this community-driven coffee. \"Prime Reserve\" is the flagship SL-28 offering from Núcleo de Gestión de Palestina, an association of neighbouring farms. Long-time customers may remember the earlier San Gabriel SL-28, another lovely coffee from Maria and Finca Betania. This association works closely with green coffee vendor InConexus on advanced training in processing methods and farm management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e This lot underwent anaerobic fermentation. Ripe, whole cherries were first sealed in bags for 48 hours, then pulped and fermented again without oxygen for 72 hours. They were then moved to air-flow canopy beds and dried for 16–20 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe double anaerobic fermentation — 48 hours whole-cherry, then 72 hours after pulping — is the defining step. It's what builds the depth and clarity behind the cherry and mandarin orange character, with just a subtle hint of process flavour layered on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean and deep — cherry, mandarin orange, and grape throughout, with a touch of red wine in the finish. Nice clarity despite the double anaerobic processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e 🍒 Cherry 🍊 Mandarin Orange 🍇 Grape\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prodigal Coffee","offers":[{"title":"Filter \/ 250g \/ August 17th","offer_id":58536077820278,"sku":"PRODIGAL-BETANIA-MARIA-RODRIGUEZ-SL28-WASHED-FIL-250G-AUG17","price":24.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/9152\/5021\/files\/WEBPrimeReserve_466ad128-f469-4191-b85e-6109294b2db6.jpg-cropped.jpg?v=1787659100","url":"https:\/\/sigmacoffee.co.uk\/products\/prodigal-coffee-prime-reserve-anaerobic-washed-sl28-colombia","provider":"Sigma Coffee UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
