This exclusive batch from Finca Zarza is grown in the renowned Pitalito region of Colombia by brothers Jhonatan and Johan Gasca, and comes from the rare and prestigious Wush Wush variety.
This coffee pushes the boundaries of fermentation with its unique, experimental, natural process. The cherries first undergo 76 hours of anaerobic fermentation, followed by a brief 12-hour oxidation in the open air, before being immersed in 60°C water for 24 hours for a striking thermal shock that locks in the aromas. Finally, they are slowly dried for about ten days.
This meticulous craftsmanship yields a cup of incredible intensity.
Prepare for an elegant, floral burst of lavender, balanced by the fruity sweetness of cherry and pineapple, all enveloped in a deliciously fermented and tangy profile reminiscent of candy.
This coffee was shipped to Europe aboard a cargo ship powered entirely by wind, reducing CO₂ emissions from maritime transport by up to 98%. A direct route, with no transshipment, for cleaner, more responsible, and better preserved coffee.
