Colombia Finca Las Palmas | Co-Fermented - Wildberries

COLOMBIA FINCA LAS PALMAS | Co- Fermented Wildberries

A Berry Patch in a Cup.

This Caturra lot is an aromatic powerhouse, featuring a specialized co-fermentation process that results in an explosion of tart forest fruits, sweet cream, and floral complexity.

The Origin Story

Hailing from the lush landscapes of Colombia, Finca Las Palmas is pushing the boundaries of traditional processing. This selection features the versatile Caturra variety, elevated through a precise Co-Fermented process. By introducing specific yeasts or fruit elements during fermentation, the farmers have amplified the natural sugars to create a "Wildberry" profile that is both intense and incredibly clean. This is a bold, experimental expression of modern Colombian viticulture, designed specifically for those who love a vibrant filter brew.

Bean Identity

Roast Philosophy

To honor the meticulous work done at the farm, we treat these beans to a High-Definition Filter Roast. We keep the roast light and fast to preserve the volatile aromatics created during the co-fermentation. By stopping the roast before heavy caramelization kicks in, we ensure the "Wildberry" signature remains the undisputed star of the show.

Sensory Profile Deep Dive

Prepare for a cup that bridges the gap between specialty coffee and a fine fruit nectar.

• Aroma: Heady scents of macerated blackberries, raspberry jam, and a hint of violet.

• Body: Syrupy yet clean; it possesses a "juicy" mouthfeel that mimics the texture of fresh berry juice.

• Acidity: Bright and phosphoric—think of the refreshing tang of a ripe red currant.

• Notes: A vivid core of Wildberries, supported by subtle layers of dark honey and a smooth, creamy finish.

• Finish: Long and sweet, leaving a lingering taste of summer fruit preserves.

Degassing Advice (Expert Tip)

Because co-fermented coffees undergo such intense structural changes during processing, they need time to settle. We recommend a rest period of 12 to 14 days post-roast. This allows the CO2 to dissipate, ensuring your brew is transparent, sweet, and free of any "fizzy" astringency.

Brewing Guide

Optimized for clarity and brightness. We recommend the following pour-over parameters:

• Ratio: 1:16 (e.g., 18g coffee to 288ml water)

• Temperature: 93°C (199°F)

• Total Brew Time: 2:45 – 3:15 minutes

Pro Tip: Use a high-quality burr grinder to achieve a medium-fine consistency. For complex co-fermented beans like these, a consistent grind is the secret to unlocking those hidden floral layers without over-extracting the bitterness.
