The farm’s owner, Wilton Benitez is a pioneer in advancing coffee processing techniques. Transitioning from a career as a chemical engineer to becoming a distinguished coffee cultivator, his combination of scientific expertise and extensive decades-long involvement in coffee cultivation and tasting has contributed to the creation of some of the most distinctive and sophisticated coffee flavors we've encountered.
About Thermal Shock
Thermal shock isn't a standalone coffee processing method, like Natural, Washed, or Honey process. Instead, thermal shock is an additional step in coffee processing. Thermal shock involves exposing coffee beans to alternating high and low temperatures. This process has two phases. In the first phase, hot water is used in two ways: either by exposing the beans to steam at high temperatures or by immersing them in boiling water. The second phase involves cooling the coffee by immersing it in cold water, which can be done with ice or room-temperature water. The result of this process is that it sterilizes and evens out the coffee, preparing it for the next step: introducing specific microorganisms during fermentation. This encourages fermentation and the growth of desirable microorganisms.
