Colombia Sl 28

Summary

A specialty coffee from Colombia, Cauca region, grown at 1900m altitude on La Macarena farm. The SL-28 variety undergoes a unique processing method: hand-picked cherries are disinfected with ozone and UV light, then subjected to a thermal shock at 90°C. First fermentation occurs in anaerobic bioreactors with Saccharomyces pastorianus yeast, followed by a 72-hour second fermentation with the addition of first-fermentation juices. A second thermal shock is applied before controlled drying at 35°C. The result is a coffee with high complexity, intense sweetness, fruity notes, and a buttery caramel aftertaste. The flavour profile is described as Forest Fruit Symphony. Suitable for both espresso and filter brewing.
