ABOUT THE REGION
Tolima, Huila, Caldas — three regions, many producers, one processing facility: El Vergel Estate. Thanks to this, this "regional blend" is not a random mix, but a raw material finalized with a single processing standard, in one place, and under one supervision. Forest Coffee builds this project under the "Innovation" label and speaks openly about the goal: repeatability, transparency, and real added value for producers.
ABOUT THE VARIETY
Caturra + Colombia. Two classic Colombian varieties in a blend that provide a solid base of sweetness and structure, while the processing finishes all the aromatic "heavy lifting."
ABOUT THE PROCESSING
First, cherry selection, then 24 hours in bags (pre-fermentation), followed by another 24 hours of whole cherry fermentation. After depulping, the beans undergo anaerobic fermentation with yeast and a cherry aromatic component. Finally, mechanical drying (approx. 10 days) and stabilization in GrainPro (approx. 30 days).
RECIPE
-
Ratio: 60 g of coffee per 1 liter of water
-
Grind size: medium-coarse
-
Brewing time: 3:30 minutes
-
Method: Pour the water over the coffee in 5 equal parts (e.g., 5x 60g) at 30-second intervals.
The water should completely filter through the coffee between pours.
If the water flows too slowly or too quickly, adjust the grind size to coarser/finer.
Remember to use soft, filtered water!
