Jairo has done it again!! You may recognize the name as we've secured a number of his lots over the years. The Arcila family are renowned experts in speciality Colombian Coffee and this one is no exception. Grown at the farm in Santa Monica, this unique coffee was exposed to a dry anaerobic fermentation period of 72 hours with the pulp on. During fermentation, ripe peach and wine yeast were added to the cherries and are then pulped and dried for ideal moisture content.
If you've had the strawberry lot we offered last year from Jairo then its no surprise that ripe west Texas hill country peaches is one of our flavor calls for this coffee, but that's not the only magic happening in the cup. With a delightful floral bouquet of lavender and vibrant citrus like acidity. Molasses and cacao nibs also round out this sweet cup.
