## What the Brand Says

> Delicate florals, glacé fruit; deep & rich with hints of sherbet and ginger. The English translation for Pilha is ‘Pile’. The name of this technique is pretty self-explanatory. Rather than spread thinly, the cherries are heaped into small mounds around 25cm high. This mounding increases heat and, in turn, fermentation. Carefully monitored, this technique has been quite risk-free and results in a controlled rise in fruit character to the coffee. A distinct shift from Lado a Lado, you’ll find some delicate floral aromas and a medley of glace fruit; deep and rich but with hints of sherbet and ginger marmalade.
