Description: Unlike beer and wine, coffee fermentation is often an uncontrolled process. That’s been changing the last decade or so as techniques like yeast cultivation and anaerobic fermentation (methods largely learned from the wine industry) have gained in popularity. In fact, there are laboratories like Lalcafe in France, cultivating yeast specifically designed for coffee fermentation! The variety the processing experts at Kibingo washing station chose for this lot is even trademarked: “Oro.” Oro is tailor made to intensify and enhance cup quality with longer fermentations, in this case, 36 hours.
The coffee starts with a heavy nose of fruity complexity and winey depth. On top of that, we got tasty notes of sweet wine and a burst of florals. This is one of the juiciest cups of coffee we’ve ever had, it reminded us of fruit nectar. The cup is intensely sweet with a slightly tannic finish. The linger has depth and is uniquely rich. If you enjoy the adventure of experimental processing and fruity coffee, or just want to take a walk on the wild side, grab some of this before it’s gone!
