Coffee Review

the passion

https://www.coffeereview.com/review/colombia-castillo-fruit-maceration-series-passionfruit/

Varietal: Castillo

Region: Armenia, Quindio

Altitude: 1500m

Harvest: March 2022

The Cappuccino Kid says...

"Powerfully aromatic, fruit-centered. Passionfruit, lychee, ginger flower, almond brittle, kumquat in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with apple-toned, malic acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. Tropics in a cup"

 

Processing
Hand-picked at peak ripeness. Exposed to dry anaerobic fermentation (pulp still on) with wine yeast and passion fruit macerated added.
After dry fermentation, the coffee cherries are pulped and placed to dry on raised beds with macerated fruits until the ideal moisture content is achieved.

About Castillo and the fruit maceration Inoculation process
Developed over 5 decades Castillo is the most common varietal of arabica coffee grown in Colombia. Its modified dwarf size and resistance to leaf rust disease make it a common choice for farmers looking for high-density cultivation.
The fermentation/Innoculation process that uses wine yeast and macerated fruits takes what is an average botanical cultivar to new interesting heights and underscore the financial benefits experimentation when done to the highest level can provide for producers.

Natural Coffee with a twist

I love the passion fruit maceration series that you guys have developed. Completely unique; complex with an effervescent hint of passion fruit in the finish. Just an incredible coffee.
