Collection: Curious Coffee
We are setting this collection up as a way to try different processes in coffee and coffees that will be a little different, hence the name "curious"
This special pomegranate infused / co-fermented lot is sourced from producer Juan Pablo Velez and his farm Finca La Luisa.
Sitting at an impressive elevation of 1,720masl, La Luisa and is a large 70 hectare estate located near the village of San Bernardo de los Farrallones, Ciudad Bolivar, in the region of Antioquia.
This lot was processed using a combination of anaerobic fermentation with added fresh pomegranate juice along with the honey method.
This lot utilised a double carbonic maceration fermentation in stainless steel tanks - one cherry fermentation and a second after pulping with fresh peach juice.
Ripe coffee cherries are introduced to the tank and CO2 is flushed to create an environment without presence of oxygen (anoxic). The cherries are fermented in this environment for 5 days (120 hours.)
The cherries are then removed and de-pulped but the leached liquor from the fermentation is preserved. The pulped coffee is then fermented a second time with a leached liquor from the first fermentation as well as fresh pomegranate juice. This second fermentation takes 3 days. Finally the coffee is dried on raised beds as a honey process until the optimum moisture content has been reached.
