PROFILE – Candy fruits, grape, cognac finish

This coffee was grown by Jairo Arcila at the farm Buenos Aires. This coffee was exposed to a dry anaerobic fermentation period of 72 hours with the pulp on. During this fermentation stage, natural, fresh grapes and wine yeast were added. The cherries were then pulped and placed to dry on raised beds with mashed fresh grapes placed amongst the coffee until the ideal moisture content was achieved.
