Tasting notes: STRAWBERRY, CHERRY, RED WINE, VANILLA CREAM, TEA, TOFFEE

Let yourself be fooled by this decaf cleverly disguised beneath intense red fruit notes.

Sebastian Ramirez’s explanation of his Red Fruit Decaf AKA TWIST:

1 - Harvesting & Cherry Selection: Hand-picked cherries, with 95% fully ripe and 5% semi-ripe. Sugar level at harvest: 18–20 °Brix.

2 - Anaerobic Cherry Fermentation: Cherries are fermented in 200-liter tanks for 120 hours at a constant temperature of 18 °C, with the addition of wine yeast. After depulping, the coffee undergoes an additional 72 hours of anaerobic fermentation with controlled CO₂ injection, dehydrated strawberries, and fruit glucose. Continuous pH monitoring is applied.

3 - Drying – Marquesina: Slow, controlled drying under a canopy (marquesina) at 40 °C. A second drying phase continues under shade for approximately 5 days. (All drying is done slowly to preserve fruit complexity.)

4 - Stabilization: The coffee is packed in GrainPro bags and stabilized for 15 days.

5 - Hulling & Electronic Sorting: Mechanical hulling followed by electronic sorting to ensure uniformity and quality.

6 - Decaffeination: Decaffeination carried out by an authorized and certified facility.
