We’re bringing you a refresher of this bestselling lot that was initially released for International Coffee Day in 2021 that reveals the plenitude of the flavor potential in coffee. An underlying note of pears complemented by vanilla and a floral hint of honeysuckle display the unique results brought about by the watermelon fermentation process. The cup is balanced with medium acidity and body and is ideal to brew with all Pourover Devices, Aeropress, Moka Pot and Cold Brew.
Process: Once cherries are picked and rinsed as usual, they are sealed in fermentation tanks in which very low oxygen levels are maintained (anaerobic fermentation). The cherries are sealed in the tanks along with watermelon fruit with their juices squeezed out. Fermentation takes place for 72 hours and after the ideal pH value and sugar content is attained, the cherries are removed and dried in the sun on raised drying beds. Drying takes place under controlled shade which allows the producer to control moisture and microorganism activity. After 2 days of drying in approximately 75% sunlight, the shade is eliminated to speed up drying until the final moisture content is attained. The dried cherries are then rested for a certain period of time before being shipped off for hulling.
