Colombia Finca Milan Nitro Caturra - 6oz Light Roast

I am very happy to bring this lot to my site as it is a highly unique cup of coffee that will perplex your taste buds. When I initially roasted it to sample, I offered tastings to a few of my coworkers who were able to blindly decipher the intended watermelon flavor. It would be a great cup to share with friends or family to show what coffee can taste like, and what I think will be another wave in the evolution of coffee processing.

This lot is crafted using Cafe Uba’s (Finca Milan parent company) signature “Nitro Washed” fermentation, an innovative technique developed in-house. In this process, coffee is fermented inside a bioreactor with a mix of fruit must, starter cultures, and culturing lixiviates. During fermentation, the atmosphere purges oxygen with nitrogen and they closely monitor key variables such as temperature, pH, and Brix levels to keep the coffee in what has been identified as the optimal range. After fermentation the coffee is sun dried for 30 days.

As this is a special offering, it will only be offered in light roast to ensure the intended tasting notes are brought forward and in a 6oz portion to help keep the cost down. This will be packaged in a special edition iridescent, pink, holographic bag.
