September - Diego Bermudez: Thermal Shock Washed

Diego's innovative approach to coffee processing sets his Colombian coffee apart. Using precise bio reactors, he meticulously monitors variables like time, temperature, pH, sugar content, and microbial load, resulting in a unique flavor profile. Featured here is Diego's Castillo, processed with Thermal Shock, offering notes of Lychee, Peach, and Caramel. The journey begins with careful cherry harvesting, followed by ozone disinfection and a 72-hour anaerobic fermentation. After pulping and demucilagination, specific microorganisms are cultivated to enhance aromas and flavors during fermentation. A 36-hour fermentation period and a thermal shock process further refine the coffee, which is dried in a dehumidifier to preserve its delicate notes and prevent over-oxidation, promising a truly exceptional coffee experience.
