Prodigal's team was introduced to this then-unnamed coffee by Stephen at the Coffee Quest, and the reaction was immediate: big, ripe, zippy purple fruit flavours across the spectrum, backed by winey berry intensity and laser-focused acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonthly subscribers snapped it up quickly and demanded to know when it would reach the public menu.

The farm grows the Bourbon Aji variety, a Colombian cultivar related to Bourbon but with a distinctive fruit-forward character that lends itself beautifully to anaerobic processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Coffee Quest sourced this lot, connecting a talented small-scale producer with roasters who could showcase his work at its best. The tiny scale of Las Palmas means production is inherently limited, with every decision on the farm having an outsized impact on the final cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Anaerobic Washed process at Finca Las Palmas involves:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🍒 \u003cstrong\u003eSelective Harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e — Only ripe cherries picked by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e📅 \u003cstrong\u003eFirst Anaerobic Fermentation (Cherry)\u003c\/strong\u003e — Whole cherries fermented anaerobically for approximately 40 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🔧 \u003cstrong\u003eDepulping\u003c\/strong\u003e — Fruit skin removed mechanically\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e📅 \u003cstrong\u003eSecond Anaerobic Fermentation (Post-depulp)\u003c\/strong\u003e — Coffee fermented anaerobically again for approximately 80 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e💧 \u003cstrong\u003eWashing\u003c\/strong\u003e — Washed clean after fermentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e☀️ \u003cstrong\u003ePatio Drying\u003c\/strong\u003e — Dried on patios for three weeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe double anaerobic fermentation builds extraordinary fruit intensity whilst the final wash preserves clarity, producing cups that some perceive as cleaner, others as more natural — but all explosively fruity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn explosive, fruit-forward cup that defies easy categorisation.
