Colombia Pesca Li Quindio Co-Fermentation Honey Coffee | 250g

Since its beginnings, specialty coffee has always prioritized terroir, origin, careful farming, and processing — all in the pursuit of highlighting pure, natural flavor.

As society grows more diverse, demand for coffees with truly unique flavor profiles continues to rise. The primary market is concentrated in Asian countries and the wealthy Middle East.

Co-fermentation remains a controversial processing method to this day. And yet, despite that, the reality is that it is steadily becoming an important part of the coffee industry. These coffees are showing up at trade shows and in specialty cafés around the world. It may not be long before co-fermentation becomes a mainstream processing method across all coffee-growing countries.

The Co-Fermentation & Honey processing method will likely become widespread in the near future.

ABOUT THE CO-FERMENTATION & HONEY PROCESSING METHOD

Co-Fermentation & Honey is a coffee processed using the honey method combined with co-fermentation. The fresh coffee cherries are pulped and then fermented alongside natural fruits such as peach, strawberry, passionfruit, watermelon, cacao, and more.

Fermentation lasts a minimum of 24 hours in sealed tanks. Once the desired pH level, Brix reading, or flavor profile is reached, the coffee is dried on raised beds to remove moisture.

The name Pesca Li is a combination of two fruits that define the flavor profile: Pesca (Spanish) for peach and Li, short for lychee.
