Thereafter the beans are pulped and fermented twice with a strain of Lactobacillus for several hours in a sealed bioreactor. Finally, the beans are washed and the washed parchment coffee is rapidly dried with an in-house designed Eco-Enigma dehumidifying dryer to avoid over-oxidation or continued fermentation Wilton Benitez, the well know producer from Cauca, has won several prices, the Golden Bean in 2022, the best cup of Cauca in 2023 and in 2024, Edwin Tascón has become Colombia's barista champion with a competition lot of the SL variety. We had the chance to follow a course in micro biology with Wilton in March 2025 where we could ourselves practice with the advanced controlled processing methods of Wilton. It was an amazing experience where we learned a lot. Brewing Recommendations For Filter Dose: 13g per 200ml of water Grind: Medium to coarse (EK43 Grinder #7-9) Brew Time: 3.5–4 minutes
