Colombia Zarza

This semi-washed coffee is both very clean and a little funky at the same time. Its elegant, floral fragrance is paired with lots of fruity notes, think citrus, berries and stone fruit. A new addition to our product range, it complements our excellent selection of high-quality Colombian coffees and is brought to us by Cata Cafe Exports, just like El Diviso. We recommend this coffee for both espresso and filter brewing.

After the ripe cherries are harvested, they first undergo a 24-hour oxidation process. This is followed by a two-step anaerobic fermentation in plastic bags with the first 24 hours happening before depulping and another 32 hours after. Next, the mucilage is removed with a thermal shock process, before the cherries are washed with spring water. Finally, the coffee is taken to the dryer for up to eight days, depending on the weather. During this time, it is removed four times a day to ensure even and consistent drying.
