Coffee Club V9

In-person pickup will be in front of my N Brooklyn apartment (5 minutes from the Lorimer/Metropolitan Ave stop).

Pickup date: 02/01 (or custom date if you can't make that date)

Roaster notes:

V9 skews more towards processing. In this box, we have 3 coffees that exhibit very fruit-forward profiles through processing. Think cherry, watermelon, and peach.

Zarza Farm Washed Pacamara

Origin: Colombia
Region: Buselas - Huila, Colombia
Farm: Zarza Farm
Farmer: Gasca Brothers
Varietal: Pacamara
Processing: Washed
Elevation: 1550-1800 masl
Profile: Dark Cherry, Chocolate Undertones
Funk level: 6/10
Price per lb (shipping + greens): $19.55

About the coffee:

The ripe cherries were harvested, cleaned, then oxidized for 48 hours. Then an in-cherry anaerobic fermentation took place for 60 hours. The resulting coffee cherry must is collected and set aside. 

The cherries are then pulped and a second anaerobic fermentation with the mucilage takes place for 6 hours and the prior must and any leachates were recirculated.

At the end of the secondary fermentation, a quenching process is applied where hot (50C) and cold (20C) are applied to the beans to eliminate microbial load. This rapid cooling helps fixate the compounds released (seems similar to thermal shock).

Lastly, the coffees are dried in the sun on a mechanical system for a minimum of 10 days.

About the coffee:

The ripe cherries were selected by hand, then floated and separated by density. Any less dense cherries were removed.

The cherries were then placed in a hopper and fermented for 12 hours. After fermentation, the cherries were dried, depulped, and kept in the fermentation tank for 24 hours.

The coffee was washed and spread in African sunbed dryers for 10-15 days at which point the coffee was brought to a moisture level between 10.5% and 11.5%.
