Colombia Wilton Benitez Granja Paraiso 92
What We Taste: Raspberry Red Grapes Lavender Hibiscus
Producer Wilton Benitez has become one of the world's leaders in coffee production, including innovative farming and processing methods. This includes the use of terraced gardens, drip irrigation, and laboratory tested shade and nutrition calculations. Finca Paraiso-92 even has its own microbiology laboratory, quality laboratory and processing plant.
The processes applied to the different coffees at Finca Paraiso-92 start from a strict selection, sterilization and characterization of the cherry, beofre moving to the first phase of controlled anaerobic fermentation which lasts for 36 hours. Specific microorganisms are added for each process, then the coffee is pulped and subjected to a second fermentation phase. When this second phase ends, a process of thermo shock is carried out via alternating hot and cold water to improve the organoleptic conditions of the coffee.
All of this effort results in a complex coffee with a clean, silky body. Tasting notes are of raspberry, red grapes, lavender and hibiscus florals.
Available for either espresso or filter coffee brewing.
