Heavy hibiscus notes, grape, cranberry and acidity reminding us of the perfect spritz lemonade concoction. Great as a hot drink, absolutely amazing chilled…. Make it a flash brew, make it a cold brew and thrive on this 90 degree weather 😎.
This is our second natural or dry-processed coffee from Café Granja La Esperanza in Colombia. CGLE-17 is one of their hybrid varieties, a cross between Gesha and Caturra that exhibits beautiful florals and sweetness
The Process
Coffee cherries are selected at the peak of ripeness, followed by a floating process to carefully remove any lower-quality beans. The cherries are first fermented in open tanks for 48 hours. Then, they undergo a second stage, where they are carefully sealed in closed tanks to deepen their complex flavors.
The cherries are gently dried in mechanical driers for 8 to 12 days, set at an ideal temperature of 38°C to preserve their rich character. After drying, the beans rest in climate-controlled storage, kept between 18°C and 19°C, where they mature to perfection.
