FROM THE ROASTER

SOURCING COFFEES THAT ARE EXCEPTIONALLY VIBRANT, BRIGHT AND INTENSELY EXPRESSIVE, THEN BLENDING THEM TOGETHER FOR A RAUCOUS CACOPHONY OF FLAVOUR. THIS BLEND WILL BE AN EXPLORATION OF MODERN PROCESSING AND VIBRANCY, A YEAR ROUND STAPLE OF INTENSE FRUIT-FORWARD NOTES. COFFEE IN FULL COLOUR, NOT JUST BLACK AND WHITE.

PROCESS

ANOXIC NATURAL: RIPE CHERRIES PICKED AND TAKEN TO THE CENTRAL PROCESSING CENTRE AT LA PIRAGUA, BEFORE FLOATING. AFTER CHECKING THE BRIX CONTENT TO PLAN THE FERMENTATION, THERE IS AN INITIAL 72 HR AEROBIC FERMENTATION; AFTER WHICH THE CHERRIES ARE PLACED IN SEALED TANKS WITH DEGASSING VALVES AND FERMENTED IN AN ANOXIC ENVIRONMENT FOR 98 HOURS, BEFORE BEING REMOVED AND SPREAD ON RAISED BEDS TO DRY OVER 15-20 DAYS

TRADITIONAL WASHED: SELECTIVELY PICKED CHERRIES ARE DELIVERED BY SMALLHOLDERS TO MUTUNGATI FACTORY, WHERE THEY ARE SORTED AT INTAKE BEFORE PULPING INTO TANKS, WITH THE PARCHMENT THEN FERMENTED FOR 12 - 24 HRS DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER. THE PARCHMENT IS WASHED THROUGH GRADING CHANNELS IN CLEAN WATER TO REMOVE ANY REMAINING MUCILAGE, BEFORE MOVING TO RAISED BEDS TO DRY OVER 14-21 DAYS, WEATHER DEPENDENT.
