Finca Chelin
An interesting variety from an innovative producer.
This is a black honey carbonic maceration coffee. Coffee was placed in a closed tank for 48 hours following carbonic maceration process. Commercial yeasts and cold water was added to regulate microbe activity. After depulping, the coffee was dried in mucilage (honey process) over four weeks in a multi-staged drying process.
We were drawn to this coffee on a recent cupping table from samples provided by La Nacional (a special thanks to them for introducing these coffees to us). After learning more about producer Enrique Lopez, we've grown more fond of this coffee and of Finca Chelin - they take experimental processing to another level, having developed over 20 different post-harvest processes. Finca Chelin is also a carbon neutral operation.

Las Tolas
A washed processed Java from producer Arnaud Causse at Finca Las Tolas in Ecuador.
The seed stock of this coffee was one that Arnaud brought over many years prior from El Salvador, where he was based as an agronomist. He has been cultivating coffee in Gualea Ecuador for over two decades now and his experience and attention to detail shows through in this unique cup profile. It's not something you would immediately expect from the area, but shows what's possible.

Nkoronko
A natural processed Bourbon variety from the Nkoronko Cooperative in Burundi.
This is our first lot with TGEP, a coffee importer based in Quebec. They work directly with Burundi producers every year. Last year, we were fortunate to receive pre-shipment samples of this natural coffee, and we were surprised with its sweetness (we typically find coffees from Burundi to have more raisin-forward notes, generally for washed processed Bourbons). This coffee will likely make its way into our adventurous cold drip for the Summer period, assuming it lasts that long!

Demeka Becha Station
A special prep washed day lot of varieties 74158, 74165, 74112, 74110, 7440 from washing station Demeka Becha in Becha Village in the Sidama region of Ethiopia.
Sourced by Catalyst Coffee, this is a special day lot - a very hands on initiative by Catalyst to tag and track coffees, from harvest of cherries, all the way down to export dry mill. In this particular case, 29 bags of (parchment) coffee were obtained from an isolated fermentation tank from a single harvest day (Feb 11, 2020) - no mixing from previous harvest days, no fermentation batching, and then tracking all the way down to green sacks from dry milling.

El Paraiso Eco-Enigma
This is a recent arrival direct from El Paraiso. The coffee is Caturra and Castillo from Bolivar in Cauca Colombia, where producer Diego Samuel Bermudez Tapia was born.
Eco-Enigma is a process from El Paraiso that is applied to coffees from neighbouring producers - in this case, from Diego's place of birth. Enigma is a closed circuit air recirculation and temperature controlled system. It uses condensation and recirculation to minimize the environmental impact of processing while creating replicable conditions to dry coffee to between 10-11.5% humidity regardless of climate factors.
This coffee is joining our 'seasonal core' selection, along with Fazenda Serrinha, and is profiled as a comfortable filter and espresso.
