The Caturra variety is harvested only at peak ripeness, when the cherries reach sugar levels above 23° Brix. After a brief water soak, the cherries undergo an fermentation, allowing fruit character and floral aromatics to develop slowly and evenly. The coffee is then depulped, retaining 100% of its mucilage, and enters a second anaerobic honey hydro fermentation. During this carefully controlled stage, dehydrated lychee is introduced, amplifying the coffee’s natural sweetness and elevating its aromatic profile with a refined, tropical elegance. This coffee showcases a vibrant and elegant flavor profile, opening with juicy lychee sweetness and delicate fruity & floral rose notes . It evolves into rich peach marmalade, adding a soft, candied stone-fruit depth, while refined green tea notes bring balance and freshness. The aroma is fragrant and expressive, the mouthfeel of silky and honey-smooth with a medium body, and the finish is clean and lingering, leaving gentle tea-like finish and subtle fruity sweetness on the palate
