Process: Thermal Shock Semi-Washed

About: Finca el Paraiso is a family farm in Cauca, Colombia, where unique fermentation science has produced some of our favorite and most unique coffees. Led by Diego Bermudez, the Paraiso team uses advanced fermentation techniques like thermal shock, anaerobic tanks, and custom yeast strains to unlock vibrant flavors. Many of these experiments are performed with the Castillo variety where the yeast strain and process are altered to produce wildly different coffees.

Rose Tea undergoes a double aerobic fermentation with Paraiso's yellow fruit yeast for 24 hours. During fermentation, the pressed cherry juice (mossto) is recirculated in the tanks. The coffee then undergoes a thermal shock process prior to drying in a dehumidifier. The result is a bright, beautiful, and floral coffee with notes of caramel, berries, rose, and grapefruit.
