Process

Variety: Arabica, Caturron

Grain processing: Washed

After harvesting, the coffee cherries undergo a 24-hour fermentation before being pulped 48 hours later. This unique processing method allows the beans to develop distinct flavors, before a final drying on a patio for 10 days.

artisanal roasting

Coffee roasted by us in our collaborative Parisian workshop

"This delicate and demanding coffee requires patient roasting to fully reveal its rich flavor. I begin with a slow temperature increase to preserve the natural sweetness of the bean. The roasting takes place just before the 4-minute mark, at which point the aromas of milk chocolate, caramel, and vanilla begin to develop."
