Plum madness from Diego Bermudez!

Diego Bermudez produces award-winning coffee at his farm, El Paraíso. Diego is known for pushing the boundaries of fermentation and processing, and this Red Plum P-02 lot is a perfect example. We're fortunate to work with Diego and the team at El Paraiso, and we're super excited to share the results with you. We know you're gonna flip out over this one.

Harvest starts with the team at El Paraiso handpicking the ripest cherries and floating them to remove any density defects. The cherries are then disinfected with ozone and placed in tanks to ferment anaerobically in water for 36 hours. The coffee is pulped and demucilaged, and the seeds are then fermented for 12 hours with the removed fruit and mucilage. The coffee undergoes a thermal shock to fix precursors and is dried in a dehumidifier to 10.5% moisture.

The result is a sweet, fruity coffee with flavors of red plum, raspberry, panela, and honey.
