Wilton Benitez - Thermal Shock Red Bourbon

Summary

Red Bourbon from Wilton Benítez, grown at Granja Paraíso 92 in Piendamó, Cauca, Colombia, at 1800-2100 MASL. Benítez, a trained chemical engineer, applies his Thermal Shock processing, using a controlled change in water temperature during the washing stage, with fermentation and drying closely monitored in microbiology and quality-control laboratories. The cup is bright and juicy with red berry fruit and the sweet-tart snap of a Jolly Rancher, intensely expressive yet remarkably clean and refreshing.
