FROM THE ROASTER

DELICATE'S FIRST NON-WASHED COFFEE, FROM THE FAMOUS SIDAMA ZONE. IT SITS ON THE CLEANER SIDE OF HONEY PROCESSING AND PRESENTS VERY MUCH LIKE A WASHED COFFEE, WITH BALANCED ACIDITY AND SWEETNESS AND SWEET, PERFUME-LIKE FLORALS RANGING FROM WHITE TO PURPLE. OVER DAYS OF TASTING WE HAVE EXPERIENCED NOTES OF GOLDEN RASPBERRY, LEMON SUGAR, LILAC, WHITE FLORALS, AND PERSIMMON.

BEFORE THE PULPER, RIPE CHERRIES ARE HAND SORTED FOR COLOR CONSISTENCY, FLOATED FOR DENSITY, THEN HAND SORTED AGAIN. WHITE HONEY IS THE CLOSEST HONEY PROCESS TO WASHED: ONCE PULPED, THE PARCHMENT KEEPS A THIN LAYER OF MUCILAGE THAT IS FERMENTED CAREFULLY, THEN MOVES DIRECTLY TO SHADED DRYING BEDS UNTIL IT REACHES TARGET DRYNESS. THE BARE SITE IS OWNED BY THE TULU FAMILY.
