About The Cup
This coffee stands out for its clarity. It features juicy tamarind and orange citrus notes, a mouth-watering creamsicle flavor, and delicate floral hints like magnolia and white flowers. Like all of Wilton Benitez's releases, it's a special coffee.
About Anaerobic Thermal Shock with wine yeast
The coffee goes through a special process. It starts with sterilizing selected beans using ozonated water and ultraviolet light. After pulping, the beans are placed in an anaerobic bioreactor for fermentation. Here, a yeast commonly used in beer and wine (Saccharomyces pastorianus) is added, creating intense aromas and more character. The coffee ferments anaerobically for 68 hours, followed by a thermal shock wash, and is then dried in a controlled mechanical dryer for 48 hours.
