About the farmer:

Mateyos placed 2nd place in 2024 COE. 

About the coffee:

The cherries are hand-sorted for ripeness, then floated in tanks. A second hand-sort follows before pulping.

A manual disc pulper removes the skin while preserving as much mucilage (for Red Honey) as possible. The parchment then goes through a short fermentation before drying slowly on shaded beds with strong airflow—about 4-5 days longer than sun drying, but with better moisture control. Careful turning and covering throughout is what produces a consistent coffee.

Roaster's notes:

A perfect summer coffee. A crisp, fruity coffee with tea-like qualities to give you a refreshing kick. I think this'll go great iced.

This has similar qualities to the Banko Chelchele we offered last year, but cleaner finish and more surface-level sour than the Chelchele.

If you liked that one, I think you'll like this one too.

Brewing Notes:

V60

Water temp:

90-93C

Brew recipe:

0. 18g grounds a tad coarser
1. 60mL bloom (for 40 seconds)
2. 60mL second bloom (until water drains)
3. pour to 300mL -- apply light swirls if grounds are sticking to brewer sides

 

Rest notes:

I'd leave it alone for 3+ weeks if possible.
