ABOUT THIS COFFEE AND PRODUCER

This coffee is a catuai variety, that has been processed with the “Dynamic Cherry” process, which involves a 76-hour anaerobic fermentation in tanks with air traps.  The process allows the release of gases accumulated during fermentation, and promotes the growth of yeast and lactic acid bacteria. The coffee is then patio-dried for 609 hours.

This coffee is from Enrique Pretel, of the Creativa Coffee District project in Panama.  At the young age of 77 years old, Enrique produces coffees on a six-hectare farm with 7,000 coffee trees.  The label color represents the color that Enrique identifies his coffee: purple.

WHY WE SELECTED THIS COFFEE

We are absolutely delighted to bring back one of our favorite modern dark roasts of all time with a twist! Last year we launched our first dark roast with Creativa Coffee District dynamic cherry processed caturra. This year we are working with them again with a new shorter fermentation and a catuai varietal instead. The signature dynamic cherry still gives  an incredibly rich chocolate and salted caramel depth when brewed just as our first lot but with a hint of darker cherry notes this time. Please enjoy one of our remastered classic dark roasts from an absolutely incredible family in Panama.
