About the coffee:

The harvested Pink Bourbon cherries were measured for their sugar content, ensuring a reading of 22 degrees Brix before processing. The cherries were floated in water to remove defects and then washed in an ozonated water mixture. The remaining cherries were put into food-grade plastic and dry fermented for 48 hours before being depulped. The depulped coffee then goes through a dry fermentation for 72 hours. The coffee is then rinsed and dried on beds for 20-25 days. Finally, the process finishes with 1-2 hours a day of unconvered sun exposure daily until it reaches its target moisture level.

About the farmer:

Finca La Indonesia has been producing exceptional coffee for over 40 years. This farm is a Torres family family inheritance, and is currently being worked on by Frank Torres.

Frank Torres has been passionate about coffee ever since he was young. He started by working for Starbucks' specialty coffee program, as well as a green coffee buyer.

Torres's focus on improving farming practices has helped him turn 90% of his farm organic as a way to preserve soil conditions and protect his crops.

Roaster's notes:

I apparently can't get enough of pink bourbons. This cupped clean, with hints of floral. I initially thought this was a geisha on the cupping table.

This might be the least funky coffee I've offered.

Brewing Notes:

Go fine and push extraction. I've found myself preferring the plastic V60 and going a few ticks down (more fine) when brewing with this bean.
