SYNOPSIS

This coffee has won several competitions worldwide and continues to impress every person who comes in contact with its extraordinary aromas and flavors.

Deborah’s geisha grows slowly on beautiful, 8 year old trees and at extreme altitude. This allows the coffee to develop its unique and complex flavor profile. Harvest season occurs in February-May. Harvesting is assisted by BRIX meter, cherries are scrutinized by color and defects, then laid out on clean, raised, African beds to ensure consistent and slow drying.

Processing protocol development by Jamison Savage of Finca Deborah which required meticulous and complex execution by Jamison. Drying of the cherries takes place on the 3 layered beds. Each bed has a separate function. In the first stage, after picking, the cherries were placed on the highest bed for 5-7 days. Here, the sun’s rays are the strongest in order kill bacterial activity. The second stage, the cherries continue to dry for 10 days. This stage develops the sweetness. The third and final stage, the cherries are moved to the lowest and coldest bed for 3-5 days to reach a moisture level of 11%. The coffee is then tested for water activity, tasted and vacuum packed.

Arranged by Jamison Savage.
