Colombia Las Palmas "Passion Fruits"

Wow this is a wild coffee. 

From our friends at Forest Coffee, this coffee is produced by Brayan Alevar on his farm in Huila - Las Palmas. He's a second generation farmer that is producing some amazing things with Forest Coffee. Grown at 1600 MASL, this lot is a mix of Caturra, Castillo and Colombia varieties. 

This coffee highlights a unique, innovative co-fermentation with fruits that defines its unique profile. The cherries undergo a 24-hour pre-fermentation in plastic bags, followed by 24 hours of fermentation in cherry. After depulpation, the beans are co-fermented anaerobically for 5 days with dehydrated passion fruit, allowing the coffee to absorb rich, fruity flavors. The beans are then dried mechanically over 10 days, ensuring consistent moisture levels, before a final stabilization period of 5 days.

This meticulous process results in a coffee with flavor notes of wild tropical fruits. Guava, passionfruit, papaya and bubblegum are everywhere in the cup.
