Dark Matter - Caramel Curd, Yunnan 200g

A fantastic Yunnan lot, that thanks to a unique anaerobic washed process utilising butter during the fermentation process, allows the green coffee to chemically react on a molecular level to preserve aromas, esters and lipids of butter resulting in a uniquely creamy, dessert like coffee.

Ripe cherries are picked, traditionally washed and then placed into sealed bags with butter to anaerobically ferment for 3 days. They are then washed again before being dried.

In the final cup, expect intense sweetness, funkiness and creaminess that tastes like cheesecake, toffee, caramel, mascarpone, butter and cream. Paired with milk drinks, it's dessert in a cup. Black, it's intensely sweet with a buttery, creamy mouthfeel and some balanced funkiness that induces the mascarpone/cheesecake flavour notes.
