Colombia El Carmen Camionetta Anoxic Washed Nº 206

This coffee is the work of a selection of smallholders from the association El Carmen. It's then washed to remove low density cherries (also know as floaters) and placed in plastic bags to reduce oxidation ready for its approx 72hr road trip to the processing station at Finca Jamaica in Caldas. These 72hrs are where the magic happens as the dry cherries have a moment of respite, giving them time to ferment in an anaerobic environment. On arrival at Jamaica, the drying station of Villamaría, the cherries are washed again ready for pulping. This coffee then goes through a second 48hr fermentation in an anoxic environment using the Water Pillow Process. The coffee is then dried on dedicated raised beds until it reaches 20-25% before being finished in a parchment powered deep bed mechanical dryer at 40 degrees. This process and hard work really creates a fresh clean cup of coffee.
