Co-Fermented Coffee Jairo Arcila: Blackberry & Wine Yeast Santa Monica
40 AUD
Dark Fruit Mastery: The Blackberry & Wine Yeast Co‑Ferment The Blackberry & Wine Yeast Co-Fermented Coffee Jairo Arcila produces is a standout microlot, showcasing the cutting edge of Colombian fermentation innovation. Crafted at Finca Santa Monica, this lot undergoes a blackberry and wine‑yeast co‑fermentation that transforms the Castillo varietal into a dark‑fruit powerhouse. Expect jammy blackberry richness, spiced red‑wine aromatics, and a velvety honeyed finish that lingers long after the sip. The Innovation: 72‑Hour Anaerobic Honey Co‑Ferment This coffee’s depth comes from a meticulously controlled scientific process • 72‑Hour Anaerobic Infusion Whole cherries ferment in sealed tanks for 72 hours with fresh blackberries and specialised wine yeast. The fruit infuses at a molecular level, while the yeast accelerates fermentation and unlocks complex aromatic compounds. • Honey Process for Body & Sweetness After fermentation, the cherries are pulped with the sticky mucilage left intact. This Honey Process amplifies body, sweetness, and syrupy texture. • Precision Drying Beans are dried on concrete patios (Elbas) until they reach the ideal 9.5–11% moisture content, ensuring clarity and stability. Sustainability at Finca Santa Monica Jairo Arcila’s co‑fermented coffees are produced with a deep commitment to environmental responsibility • Water Recycling: All flotation and sorting water is reused across batches. • Vetiver Grass Filtration: Excess water is filtered through vetiver grass beds, naturally purifying it and returning clean oxygen to the environment.
