LOST ORIGIN X FINCA SANTA TERESA - GESHA, DEPULPED
KIWI GERANIUM HONEYSUCKLE WHITE TEA JASMINE
ORIGIN: PANAMA – CHIRIQUÍ FARM: FINCA SANTA TERESA ALTITUDE: 1500 M VARIETY: GESHA PROCESS: DEPULPED
FROM THE ROASTER
THIS LOT WAS SELECTED DURING OUR VISIT TO LOST ORIGIN IN PANAMA. OUT OF MORE THAN 20 COFFEES TASTED BLIND, TWO LOTS STOOD OUT, BOTH FROM FINCA SANTA TERESA, A FARM WE HAVE WORKED WITH FOR YEARS. WE SELECTED BOTH THE NATURAL AND DEPULPED VERSIONS OF THE SAME GREEN COFFEE TO EXPLORE HOW PROCESSING CAN SHAPE TWO DISTINCT EXPRESSIONS OF THE VERY SAME LOT. THIS ONE IS EXCEPTIONALLY FLORAL, WITH A REMARKABLY TEA-LIKE STRUCTURE AND A VIBRANT, JUICY QUALITY, LEANING CLOSER TO A CLASSIC WASHED PROFILE WHILE KEEPING AN IDENTITY OF ITS OWN.
PROCESS
UNLIKE THE NATURAL, THE CHERRIES WERE DEPULPED BEFORE A SHORTER, CONTROLLED FERMENTATION: 2 DAYS (VERSUS 5) IN CUSTOM STAINLESS-STEEL TANKS AT AN AVERAGE 22°C, USING LOST ORIGIN'S BASE CULTURE OF A PICHIA KLUYVERI YEAST STRAIN AND A LACTOBACILLUS PLANTARUM BACTERIAL STRAIN, FOLLOWED BY 21 DAYS OF DRYING (VERSUS 27) IN TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY CONTROLLED ROOMS.
