Location: Cauca, Colombia
Producer: Diego Bermudez
Farm: Finca El Paraiso
Variety: Castillo
Elevation: 1,960 MASL
Tasting Notes: Plum, Cherry Cola, Clove
DESCRIPTION: This profile begins with harvesting overripe cherries, whose pulp is rich in tannins, polyphenols, esters, and other compounds that intensify red fruit notes when transferred to the seed. After ozone disinfection, the cherries undergo 36 hours of anaerobic fermentation in water. The coffee is then pulped and demucilaginated, while the mucilage and pulp are used to cultivate microorganisms and create a culture medium rich in aromatic precursors. This medium is reintegrated into the tanks for 12 hours under pressure, fixing flavor compounds to the beans. A thermal shock wash follows, sealing the precursors before controlled drying in a dehumidifier, which preserves delicate notes, prevents over-oxidation, and halts unwanted fermentation. Finally, the coffee is stabilized, stored in cool conditions, and carefully selected and hulled to ensure quality.
