El Paraiso Geisha Washed

Description

Finca El Paraíso, located in Piendamó, Cauca, Colombia, is a world-renowned specialty coffee farm defined by its philosophy of " Paradise grown by science. " Founded by producer Diego Bermúdez and managed on the ground today by his cousin, Daniel Bermúdez, the estate operates as a fully integrated coffee production laboratory. It combines high-altitude cultivation with an advanced technological ecosystem that includes an on-site microbiology lab, wet mill, condensation drying facilities, and a sensory laboratory. By studying microbiology, the farm employs an exclusive yeast-mediated biocatalytic process to control the complex interactions between yeasts and bacteria during fermentation, precisely unlocking specific aromatic precursors and flavor profiles in every batch. As pioneers in modern coffee processing, Finca El Paraíso created the renowned Thermal Shock technique as well as proprietary condensation drying equipment. These innovations utilize sealed bioreactors with precise control over temperature, pH, and local yeast strains, followed by a proprietary thermal shock washing method to lock in incredible flavor density and aromatic structure. ABOUT THE PROCESS: “To ensure maximum sweetness and quality, only fully ripe Geisha coffee cherries are hand-selected. The cherries undergoes an ozone disinfection process to precede fermentation, guaranteeing a contaminant-free environment, Following immediate depulping, a controlled anaerobic fermentation of 24 to 36 hours takes place in sealed tanks, with the inoculation of Lactobacillus to intensify the smoothness and sweet notes. After that, a double thermal wash—starting with immersion in hot water at 48°C and culminating in a cold water shock at 4°C, seals the delicate aromatic compounds. Finally, drying is carried out in a dehumidifier for 30 to 40 hours, ensuring a homogeneous and controlled moisture loss.” 200g Direct trade with Finca El Paraiso Origins: Cauca, Colombia Producer: Daniel Bermudez Variety: Geisha Process: Controlled Washed Elevation: 1960 masl Harvest: 2025 Recommended Brew: Filter Aroma: Yuzu, Jasmine Flavour: Jasmine, Grapefruit, Rose, Green Tea
