What Fat Cat Coffee Roasters say
Jairo Arcila Gesha 250g Tin
Jairo, and the team of pickers selectively harvest only the ripest cherries. The cherries are then transported to Santa Mónica sorting area, where the team meticulously hand-sorts and float them to eliminate any low-density, underripe, or defective beans. Once sorted, the coffee cherries are packaged in grain pro bags and transported to Cofinet's processing center, La
Pradera. Once at La Pradera, we continue with our quality protocols of sorting. We start by placing coffee cherries in water tanks to float them and to remove any low-density beans and external material.
Afterwards, the cherries undergo a 30-hour underwater fermentation— a critical step that enhances the coffee's flavor profile. We do this controlled fermentation process as it allows the sugars, organic acids, and other compounds within the cherries to break down gradually, stimulating the development of a delicate yet interesting profile.
The 30-hour fermentation period is carefully calibrated to strike the perfect balance between developing flavor complexity and preserving the coffee's inherent qualities.
This results in a harmonious balance of sweetness and acidity, giving our washed coffees a bright and lively character.
