FROM THE ROASTER
A STUNNINGLY PERFUMED WASHED GEISHA. THE AROMATIC PROFILE EVOLVES WITH REST, FROM JASMINE-CITRUS TENSION WHEN FRESH TO DEEPER VIOLET AND BERGAMOT AS IT AGES. THE MOUTHFEEL IS SILKY, SUPPORTED BY A JUICY ACIDITY THAT CARRIES THE FLORAL SWEETNESS INTO A LONG FINISH.
BECAUSE THIS LOT PERFORMS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL ACROSS DIFFERENT EXTRACTION STYLES AND ROAST LEVELS, IT IS OFFERED IN TWO ROAST PROFILES:
ULTRA LIGHT: CREAMIER JASMINE-CITRUS SHIFTING TOWARD BERGAMOT WITH REST, LIGHTER TEXTURE
OMNI LIGHT: PURPLE-TONED SWEETNESS, SILKY MOUTHFEEL, BUTTERY FINISH
HARVESTED DECEMBER 23, 2025 FROM THE TRAPICHE LOT AT CAÑAS VERDES. AFTER PICKING AND WASHING, THE CHERRIES UNDERWENT 4 DAYS OF COLD ANAEROBIC FERMENTATION IN STAINLESS-STEEL TANKS, FOLLOWED BY 10 DAYS OF SLOW DRYING ON RAISED BEDS.
