Sebastián Ramírez Purple Fruits Co-Ferment

JBC Coffee Roasters

About This Coffee

This Colombian coffee is from the Quindío region, produced by fourth-generation farmer Sebastián Ramírez at 1800 meters altitude. The Caturra variety coffee undergoes a purple fruits co-ferment process: 120 hours anaerobic fermentation in cherry, followed by depulping and 72 hours carbonic maceration with wine yeast, dehydrated grapes, and purple fruit glucose, then honey infusion and shade-drying. The result is a syrupy body with winey acidity and intense flavor notes of grape Kool Aid, grape bubblegum, grape Jolly Rancher, and wild blackberry.
