[ 3 ] Story 

 

Arcila Family 

You may be familiar with the names already.

This lot was produced by Arcila family from Cofinet. We have been privileged enough to secure and release their innovative fruit macerated coffee in the past, which includes mandarine, cinnamon, strawberry...etc.

This lot is a new exciting flavour Lychee. 

We have roasted this coffee very light to maximise the perfume of the fruit and achieved a great balance on sweetness and acidity.  

 

Lychee Process

The coffee was exposed to a dry anaerobic fermentation of 72 hours with dehydrated Lychee and wine yeast.

Later, the coffee was slowly dried on raised beds, below 35 degree celsius, until ideal moisture content was achieved.

Trouble Shooting

If the coffee tastes:
  • Too weak and dry finish ➞ Grind Finer
  • Too strong and sour ➞ Grind coarser
But keep the coffee to water ratio always the same.
