Coffee Producers Note -

This is a 76-hour CULTURE PROCESS washed processed coffee. It is from the Catuai varietal grown on our farm at 4300 feet from the block called Giri Patte. The Brix of the coffee cherries was 24.2 when harvested and they were put in the stainless-steel fermenters after floater removal. A particular strain of yeast and lactic acid bacteria was added to the coffee in the fermenters and allowed to ferment for 76 hours in a carbon dioxide rich environment. After removing the coffee, they are depupled and washed before directly put on raised beds for slow drying. The coffee was then dried slowly with constant stirring over the next 27 days.

Roasters Note - 

An extremey floral coffee, with a good balance of acidity. Tastes amazing in espresso and pour over. The charge temperature is a little higher as compared to naturally processed coffees. It’s a filter profile with a development time being under 2 minutes.
