Jairo Arcila Lychee Tasting Notes
This coffee boasts an impressive aroma that showcases its distinctive character. The fragrance offers a delightful fusion of lychee and vibrant guava, which seamlessly transitions into the flavor profile of the cup. As you explore deeper, layers of tropical fruit and citrus notes unfold. The experience culminates with tantalizing hints of dark chocolate and cacao nibs, adding depth and complexity to each sip.
About The Coffee Producer
Cultivated on the Santa Monica farm, this exceptional coffee underwent a unique 72-hour dry anaerobic fermentation process with the fruit left intact. During fermentation, the cherries were enhanced with the addition of lychee and wine yeast before being pulped and carefully dried to achieve the perfect moisture content.
This nano-lot is composed entirely of 100% Pink Bourbon, a varietal renowned for its superior cup qualities. Even in optimal growing conditions, Pink Bourbon is a finicky plant that presents challenges in cultivation. Farmers must practice meticulous plant care to promote successful flowering and fruiting the unique, sought after, pink fruit. The harvesting process demands extra attention, as pickers look for the subtle color variations that distinguish underripe from mature cherries. However the rewards of all this careful consideration is a uniquely delicious coffee, deserving of the additional care and cost imparted by unique co fermentation.
