WHY THIS COFFEE? It's back to our roots and vision with this one: wild, cutting-edge, pushing the envelope type coffee. EXP022 is a collaboration between Pedro Nel Salazar and Edwin Norena, showcasing what Colombian farmers can achieve when they come together: a wild coffee. This coffee presents with intense coconut, like the toasted kind in trail mix. We get mango in the sweetness and body and a subtle vanilla finish. This one is light: let it rest three weeks. PROCESSING DETAILS Pedro Nel Salazar began processing the coffee at Finca Sicilia with a brief pre-fermentation stage. He measured their sugar content at 18° Brix, then soaked them for two hours before placing them into a low-oxygen environment for 12 hours of fermentation. The coffee was then transferred to Campo Hermoso, where Edwin Noreña continued the co-fermentation process. It started with a 48-hour carbonic maceration. The liquid byproduct from this stage (mossto) was then inoculated with lactic acid bacteria and combined with dehydrated coconut, fresh mango, and allulose (a low-cal sugar). At the same time, the cherries were lightly depulped to achieve a dark honey level and subsequently immersed in the coconut-mango lactic solution for an additional 72 hours of maceration. After fermentation, the coffee was removed from the tanks, drained without washing, and dried in a greenhouse alongside dehydrated pulp for approximately 10 days. COFFEE DETAILS Origin: Colombia (Quindío) Producer and farm: Finca Sicilia and Campo Hermoso Varietal: Caturra Elevation (masl): 1500 Processing: Carbonic honey + mango and coconut cofermentation Green cost: $17.81/lb Percentage paid to producers: 75% BREW GUIDE How long to rest: Three to four weeks. This is a light coffee. We taste: You know the coconut pieces in trail mix? That plus a mango sweetness and a really fun buttered popcorn savoriness. We like: A conical brewer, lower temps, slightly coarser, and a 1:16 ratio. Be gentle with this one! PACKAGING NOTE The images represent our in-store, retail packaging. If you'd like a stickered box, just drop us an email.
