[ 3 ] Story 

 

“Passionfruit” One of my favourite fruit macerated coffee from the producer Arcila family.

This lot was grown by Jairo Arcila at Finca Santa Monica, and processed by his son Filippe.

Only the ripest coffee cherries are hand-picked by experienced pickers. Once harvested, the coffee was transported to the processing station on the same day. The coffee was exposed to a dry anaerobic fermentation of 72 hours with dehydrated passionfruit 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.
