Flavor profile
Wow. I can only hope I continue to find coffees like this one. This is in a whole new realm of high scoring specialty coffees. This particular bean, paired with careful, light roasting results in an incredible cup that beckons a top 5 personal favorite of all time. When you see the note "watermelon candy" you probably roll your eyes and mutter "yea right." I can attest that character notes can get a little out of hand in the coffee industry and "embellishing" is a very nice way of putting it. BUT when I say "watermelon candy" I MEAN Jolly rancher watermelon flavored hard candy to the dot. I DARE you to go out and buy that candy and compare it to this coffee. Also, sweet, light acidity, like a green apple. Candy bar milk chocolate in the back. Up front that watermelon candy takes the lead and that is made via pour over. (origami, v60, Kalita, etc.)
Watermelon candy, milk chocolate, green apple

Pichinde Colombia Exotic
Producer:

Jose Giraldo and Cafe 1959
Region:

Pichinde
Varietal:

Ancient Typica (70 year old trees)
Altitude:

2000m
Process:

Anaerobic Natural
This coffee came from our exotic importers at Yellow Rooster Coffee - we don't know much about the producer or farm, but only that there are extremely limited quantities produced, and it is a tier above your average specialty coffee! Cherries are put into tanks (without oxygen) for 36 hours to several days. This allows the cherries to ferment, and then they are sun dried (natural process.) This gives you an incredibly fruity, wine like coffee.
Recipes
Conical Brewing method:25g coffee - 400g water (temp: 205 f ) - total time: 3:30 min
Espresso: 3:1 ratio recommended: 18g in 37g out. This will take some time adjusting so don't get too frustrated. Anaerobics are hard to dial in!
