FROM ORIGIN TO CUP
Silky Way comes from Las Flores in Acevedo, Huila, Colombia, at 1750 masl. We keep coming back to Jhoan's coffees because they are consistently expressive. This lot is a Pink Bourbon run through a multi-step anaerobic washed process: 36 hours of anaerobic fermentation in cherry, 12 hours of oxidation, then 36 hours of anaerobic fermentation after pulping, finished with a thermal shock at 50 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes and 36 hours of mechanical drying. The result is a sparkling, bright cup of lemongrass, green apple and white flowers.
Origin
Las Flores sits in Acevedo, in the south of Huila, Colombia, at 1750 masl.
Varietal
Pink Bourbon is a natural mutation of the Bourbon variety, named for the pink cherries it ripens. It is prized for delicate florals and a soda-like brightness. With this controlled process, it leans into lemongrass, green apple and white flowers.
Processing
Anaerobic washed in three stages: 36 hours anaerobic in cherry, 12 hours of oxidation, 36 hours anaerobic after pulping. A thermal shock wash at 50 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes follows, then 36 hours of mechanical drying. No leachate recirculation.
Intervention level
This is a high-intervention coffee. Every stage of fermentation, oxidation, thermal shock and drying is timed and controlled to build a specific profile.
