About the coffee
Coupled with a medium roast profile, this coffee exudes hints grapefruit and starfruit on black, with white chocolate sweetness and toffee nut notes on white. This lot of Caturra underwent Natural processing. Cherries are harvested with an average sugar content of 24°–28° Brix and with a pH between 5.6 and 5.9. The cherries are then fermented in their collection bags for 36 hours prior to being floated to remove unripe fruit and other defects. The fermented cherries are dried in direct sunlight for 6 days and then dried in the shade for 24 days to reach the ideal humidity.
