This coffee comes to us from Sebastian Ramirez and his farm, Finca El Placer. Sebastian is known for experimental fermentation techniques and fantastic coffees. Sebastian and his team hand-pick the ripest cherries, sort them for quality, and ferment them anaerobically for 48 hours in 200-liter tanks at a constant temperature with a CO2 injection. Afterward, they rinse the cherries and dry them to 10-11% moisture with a two-phase process. They're then milled, sorted, and packed in Grain-Pro bags to stabilize. This coffee has an intense sweetness, with lush floral notes, pops of sugary apricot, and a sugary-sweet finish.
We recommend resting freshly roasted coffee to allow the beans to stabilize and fully open. This results in a sweeter, more expressive cup. We rest washed coffees 5–10 days, naturals 10–15 days, and experimental lots 15–30 days.
