EXP027: WATERMELON

WHY THIS COFFEE?

We're big fans of Jairo Arcila, a Colombian coffee producer, processed this coffee with fresh watermelon 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.

BREW GUIDE

How long to rest: This one is borderline light/ultralight at 98 Agtron. You should wait three weeks for it to degas and begin its peak.

We taste: Sweet passionfruit, almost like lychee, without the overwhelming presence of co-fermented funkiness because of the washed processing; a raspberry tartness and acidity.
