Grown at Finca Monteblanco by third-generation coffee farmer Rodrigo Sanchez Valencia, this Purple Caturra coffee undergoes a unique co-fermentation process. The cherries are first inoculated with a blend of lactobacillus, saccharomyces, and cerevisiae bacteria, followed by the addition of grapes and a sugar-rich mixture to feed fermentation. The coffee is then sealed and fermented for 8 days, after which it is pulped and added back to the fermented fruit mixture for an additional 180 hours. Finally, the coffee is washed and dried on parabolic beds for 20-25 days, resulting in a cup with vibrant fruity notes and layered sweetness.
The catalog often lists the same model at several merchants — worth a price check before you buy.
