Exclusive double fermentation: lime-bright, raspberry-sweet, with a maple-smooth finish.
From the hills of Nariño comes a coffee that captures the spirit of experimentation. Juan Pablo Argote, working alongside his father Efraín, applies advanced fermentation techniques with complete creative freedom. The result is a cup of striking aromatic intensity, layered sweetness, and a texture that feels both rich and refined.
Processing
This microlot underwent a two-stage extended fermentation. First, whole cherries were placed in sealed tanks for eight days of lactic anaerobic fermentation, creating a foundation of brightness and acidity. After depulping, the coffee entered a secondary 15-day alcoholic fermentation, during which yeasts converted sugars into complex aromatic compounds. This sequential approach amplifies fruit intensity, builds depth, and generates the syrupy body that defines this lot.
Taste Profile
The fragrance opens with high-toned citrus and floral notes—lime zest and jasmine— that immediately signal the precision of the fermentation. On the palate, a concentrated sweetness evokes raspberry candy, carrying through with vibrancy and clarity. A rounded, mellow body reminiscent of maple syrup balances the structure, leaving a lingering finish that is both indulgent and dynamic.
