THE EXPERIENCE:

Felipe Trujillo Delight in Colombian coffee, where vibrant citrus, floral, and chamomile notes meld with malic and lactic acidity. With a creamy body and flavors of honey, lemon, lime, lemongrass, and sugarcane, it offers a full-bodied experience and a sweet lingering aftertaste to captivate your senses.

THE CHALLENGE:

To achieve a cup that combines bright citrus notes with sweet chocolate to create a coffee with a very complex body and aftertaste.

PROCESS:

For this process, we chose to use the natural method. This seed produces the inherent floral notes of Colombian coffee, making it exceptionally elegant for filtered preparations. 1. After harvesting, the cherries are floated to select only the densest cherries. This process also serves to clean the fruit from bacteria.

All cherries are hand-selected, with approximately 90% being ripe and 10% overripe. The mass is kept in a tank to start the aerobic fermentation and the acetic process. This imparts the coffee with a fruity aroma and taste.
After 12 hours of fermentation, the cherries are packed in fermenters (beer fermenters in sanitary 2B finished stainless steel) that are hermetically sealed with a gas valve to control the anaerobic process for one week.
Cherries are spread on sunbed dryers for 5-6 weeks until the grain’s moisture content is below 11%.
The coffee is stored in Grain Pro bags with cherry covers for at least 2 weeks before it is milled and exported.
