INTRO
A Colombian coffee produced through prolonged yeast fermentation, then washed to ensure a clear, balanced cup. The cup opens with a creamy, acidic apricot yogurt sensation before evolving into ripe, syrupy peach, with almond adding roundness and length. In the cup: apricot yogurt, peach syrup, and almonds.
THE PRODUCER
This lot comes from Finca El Paraíso in Colombia, growing Castillo.
THE PROCESS
This lot undergoes an extended fermentation with added yeast before a washed finish. The process emphasises aromatic development while keeping the flavour truly clean.
The extended yeast fermentation is the defining step. It gives the fruit a creamy, lactic dimension and a silky texture, building the apricot yogurt and peach syrup character without sacrificing clarity.
THE CUP
Creamy, sweet, and very silky: apricot yogurt opens the cup, creamy and acidic, before evolving into ripe, syrupy peach, with almond notes providing roundness and length. The fermentation gives the fruit a milky dimension without sacrificing clarity.
