Colombia Tiki Punch SL-28

This is the second coffee we’ve sourced from Producer Wilder Lazo. Lazo was also responsible for the amazing Gesha Spirits. Like the Gesha Spirits, this is an anaerobically fermented coffee, but the unique processing and varietal of Tiki Punch yields a much different flavor profile. Tiki Punch is an SL28 varietal grown on Wilder’s farm, El Rubi. SL28 is a varietal born in Kenya in the 1930s and bred for its impressive resistance to drought. It’s also known for its juicy, bright acidity. After harvesting the coffee, Wilder begins with a 200-hour fermentation with the mucilage attached. This is followed by 20 days of sun-drying and another 35 days of stabilization.
