FILTER COFFEE INDELIBLE FINCA DEBORAH
Crème brulée, Manuka Honey, Jasmine
INDELIBLE starts harvesting perfectly ripe geisha cherries with values of 21-24 on BRIX. The cherries are then carefully selected a second time before processing. After the selection, the cherries are chopped up, leaving a certain amount of fruit on the grain. It is then refueled over a longer period of time with constant monitoring and cataloging of pH value, temperature and CO2 content. The ambient temperatures are monitored and controlled to ensure linearity in processing.
After the required time in the CO2-infused tank the coffee is removed and then placed on shady, raised African beds. Direct sunlight is avoided as the intense UV radiation and heat can cause cracks in the parchment. Temperatures, heat and humidity are controlled in the dry houses and carefully kept within certain parameters.
When the coffee is about 11% dry, it is packed in Grain-Pro bags and stored in the bodega where the temperatures are cool and stable. This seasoning process is critical to Deborah’s quality control. Reposo / Rest offers the coffee the opportunity to settle and balance its moisture content as well as absorb more flavor from its peel or parchment.
Before dry-milling INDELIBLE it is placed in a small, seasoned rum cask for a period of time where the coffee absorbs flavor and aromatic hints of it’s barrel host. The barrel is rolled several times throughout the day providing uniformity in the grain. It is then extracted from the cask and rested further. The coffee is then hulled, sorted by size, density, color, and shape then vacuum packed in 15kg boxes for export.
