Colombia CGLE La Esperanza Estate Washed
Cupping notes
Description
Cherry Selection: Cherries are harvested at peak maturity and immersed in water to remove low-density fruit. Brix levels are recorded to evaluate sweetness before fermentation begins.
Fermentation: After pulping, the coffee undergoes a 72-hour aerobic fermentation. This stage enhances flavour depth..
Washing: Mucilage is removed through washing after fermentation, preparing the parchment for drying and supporting cup clarity.
Drying and Stabilisation: Beans are dried in mechanical silos for 3–5 days at a consistent 38 °C. They are then stored at 18–19 °C in climate-controlled warehouses to preserve freshness and flavour integrity.
