Led by Diego Bermudez, the Paraiso team uses advanced fermentation techniques like thermal shock and specific yeast inoculation to showcase vibrant and unique flavors. Many of these experiments are performed with the Castillo variety where the yeast strain and process are altered to produce wildly different flavors with the same coffee. We're especially excited that they have a decaffeinated version that's just as vibrant and flavorful as the full caffeine version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Paraiso's M-03, the coffee cherries undergo a double aerobic fermentation where \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSaccharomyces cerevisiae yeast\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is used and the coffee cherry leachate is recirculated with the pulped coffee\u003c\/span\u003e. After the fermentation stage, the team uses their signature thermal shock process. The coffee then undergoes a decaffeination process with ethyl acetate, which is often called the sugar cane process as it is a byproduct of the fermentation of sugar cane and is a naturally occurring compound. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis decaf is not like any other we've had. It's extremely bright, fruity, and floral. We truly wouldn't be able to tell this was decaf had we not brewed a bunch of this before bed. There's a lovely mix of peach, berry, and a spice that's similar to candied ginger. A perfect coffee to drink all day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRest and house recipe\u003c\/strong\u003e: We're resting this at least 2 weeks.
