Special Process Edition #5: Colombia - Argote: Eider Muñoz - alcoholic fermentation
This coffee is from the coffee farmer Eider Muñoz. Eider prepares this coffee through anaerobic fermentation in small barrels. The alcohol resulting from this fermentation gives the bean a very deep flavor profile. In addition to strong passion fruit and pineapple aromas, notes of molasses also emerge. At the same time, a clean acidity profile is achieved. Overall, it's an incredibly exciting and exotic flavor experience.
The village where this coffee is grown is called Colón Genova, located in the Nariño district of Colombia. What's special about this village: On one hand, the shape of the mountains here allows warm, moist winds from the valley to rise at night, making coffee cultivation in these high altitudes possible, where elsewhere sensitive shrubs would die. On the other hand, cold winds from the south make their way into the region. This exchange of cold and warm influences causes the temperatures to fluctuate between 7 and 30 degrees Celsius, forcing the coffee to produce more sugar—the soluble compounds responsible for the coffee's acidity. These dreamlike conditions are something we've never seen anywhere else in the world, and they are what give this coffee its beautiful acidity, velvety mouthfeel, and pronounced aromas.
This coffee was tsourced by This Side Up, which places fairness, price transparency, and the well-being of the coffee farmers at its core. More about this coffee: here.

Special Process Edition
We buy coffees in our Special Process Edition from selected farms in very small quantities, i.e. only one green coffee bsg (approx. 20-40 kg) per type. We focus on coffees that have been prepared using special processes: natural coffees, honey coffees (hybrid process between washed and natural), anaerobic fermented coffees and other experimental methods (e.g. barrel storage). We only stock Special Process Edition coffees for a short time, until the 20-40kg are used up. This also means for you: If you like one of these coffees very much, order it again as soon as possible, because we probably won't have this coffee available again any time soon.
