EXP013: BANANA BREAD

WHY THIS COFFEE?

We—and you—loved EXP009 (Passionfruit) so much that we had to try different versions of it. We had the banana co-ferment and fell in love again. It's a little different: honey, not washed, and with wine yeast. It's like biting into fresh baked banana bread.

Jairo Arcila, a Colombian coffee producer, processed this coffee with banana bread and wine yeast to bring out extraordinary fruit flavors. The coffee is a Castillo variety (see here for more information) grown at the Santa Monica farm in Quindio, Colombia.
