Finca El Paraiso - Red Plum Castillo (180g)

Process

The process begins with the harvest of overripe coffee cherries because the coffee pulp contains

many tannins, polyphenols, esters, and other compounds that, when they remain for a longer time

together with the seeds, these compounds pass through in greater quantity, increasing the red

fruit notes.

Then the coffee cherries are disinfected with ozone, and they are transferred to the cherry

fermentation tanks, in which an anaerobic fermentation process is carried out for 36 hours

submerged in water.

Then the coffee is pulped and demucilaginated; the mucilage and pulp are taken to the pilot plant

to carry out the production of the specific microorganisms of the process and generate the

culture medium that contains the precursors of aromas and flavors produced in the fermentation,

then this culture medium is added to the tanks fermentation for 12 hours to fix the precursors to

the coffee beans through pressure. Then a thermal shock process is carried out to fix a greater

amount of precursors and seal the coffee for a good drying process.

Dried in a dehumidifier to remove humidity, preserving the soft notes of the coffee and avoiding

the over-oxidation of the coffee seed and stopping the metabolic processes to avoid

overfermentation

Stabilization and storage in a cool place

Selection and threshing according to the quality standard
