Origin & Process
📍 Region: Piendamó, Cauca, Colombia
🌍 Process: Thermal Shock – Advanced Fermentation
🌱 Variety: Pink Bourbon 

The Process – Next-Level Coffee Fermentation

Wilton’s Thermal Shock Process is a highly controlled, multi-step method designed to enhance clarity, sweetness, and complexity:

✅ Step 1: Double Sterilization – Cherries are cleaned using ozonated water and ultraviolet light, eliminating unwanted microbes while preserving natural fruit flavors.
✅ Step 2: Two-Stage Anaerobic Fermentation – Carefully controlled fermentation enhances depth, body, and aromatics:

• 52-hour fermentation in whole cherries at 18°C with added yeast to boost complexity.
• 48-hour fermentation in mucilage at 21°C, adding rich sweetness and balance.
  ✅ Step 3: Thermal Shock Washing – A hot (40°C) and cold (12°C) rinse locks in delicate aromatics, ensuring vibrancy and clarity.
  ✅ Step 4: Precision Drying – A 36-hour drying process at controlled temperatures to preserve unique flavor notes.
