Processing details:
1. Manual harvest
2. Characterisation of the cherry.
3. Classification of the cherry by density and size.
4. Sterilisation of the cherry (with UV and Ozone).
5. Immersion of the fruits in water at 90ºC for a short period of time to achieve better sterilisation and open the pores of the fruits.
6. First phase of cherry fermentation begins in anaerobic bioreactors where a specific microorganism is added.
7. Once the first fermentation is finished, the shell of the fruits is removed and the grains are taken to other bioreactors for a second fermentation phase.
8. After the second phase of fermentation is completed, the grains are subjected to hot water impacts and then washed with cold water.
9. The washed coffee is taken to the ecological drying equipment where the drying curve is set up (40ºC for the initial 12 hours and 35ºC for the next 24 hours).

Inmaculada Farm Colombia - Eugenioides
Tasting notes: Malt biscuit, Demerara sugar
Imagine going to a party, it is the first party in quite some time, you are excited to catch up with friends, but then your Mum arrives and steals the show. Well, that just happened at the WCE series of competitions in Milan.
It is likely that you have tasted Coffea canephora better known as robusta, which has a high caffeine content and an intense, often bitter taste. However, there are only a few people in the world that have tasted Coffea eugenioides, known as the mother of arabica.
Eugenioides is very difficult to grow commercially, especially in the early stages due to the weak root system. The annual yield is around only 50-75g green coffee beans per tree compared to 500g-1kg from an arabica tree. After 7 years the plant needs to be pruned, resulting in a year of no harvest. Our eugenioides was cultivated by Inmaculada coffee farm, located in the village of Pichindé, in Colombia's Valle Del Cauca department.
