coffee from the Shyira washing station this year is again, unbelievable. to the point where i almost secured all five versions of their red bourbon, wherein post-harvest processes included washed, anoxic washed, honey, natural and anoxic natural. honestly speaking, it would have been amazing to get all five, however i resisted and chose three that had the biggest variation in flavour.
% what raw material want you to know
Cherries are hand-sorted, floated, and pulped to remove underripe, damaged, or low-density fruit. Fermentation occurs in concrete tanks for 12 hours, with ceremonial foot-stomping for agitation. Pre-pulp flotation is used to remove foreign material before the cherries are de-pulped, removing the skin but retaining almost all the mucilage. Cherries are later rinsed to remove floaters post-pulp. This coffee, with a distinct orange rendering, is dried on raised beds, thinly spread for maximum sun exposure and later heaped for even drying. Coffee is dried for 35 days, being turned frequently when the sun is high and covered at night - these drying conditions minimise over-fermentation.
