We can't get enough of Sebastian Ramirez's co-ferments. If you're a fan of the Red Fruit and remember the Monteblanco Citrullus we had last year, this one is on a whole new level. It's not quite as polarizing as the Purple Fruit and a lot more versatile. More refined as a pour over, sweet watermelon candy with a touch of honeydew. Pull it as espresso and it slaps you in the face with watermelon taffy. Bright, sweet, unmistakable. Candy Watermelon sweetness up front, honeydew rounds it out, with a subtle lemongrass note on the finish that ties the whole thing together. Vibrant. Refreshing. Wish we had secured more. Caturra cherries ferment anaerobically in sealed tanks for 120 hours at a steady 18°C with CO2 injection. After depulping, the coffee ferments a second time for 72 hours with watermelon and dehydrated fruit glucose. Then a controlled patio dry at 40°C with a two-phase shade dry. This is not flavored coffee. The watermelon is in the process, not added after roasting. What you're tasting is what the fruit left behind.
The catalog often lists the same model at several merchants — worth a price check before you buy.
