Another beautiful coffee by Luis, this coffee may remind you of the Plum Craze we used to have. A smaller lot that we were able to score, this coffee is pretty gnarly and we won't have much this season. This coffee went through a thermal shock process before the main natural fermentation. The thermal shock refers to the coffee cherries being picked and inoculated with coffee yeast, it is fermented at a high heat before shocked by rapidly reducing the temperature. The result is an intense and highly textured coffee with remarkable sweetness. Roasting this coffee was very easy to manipulate, the development was influenced by the process as I was able to rely on the cultivar and extended fermentation to dictate how this coffee's origin shines.
