Description

Pink Bourbon - This naturally processed coffee begins with the collection of 95% ripe and 5% semi-ripe cherries, then anaerobic fermentation takes place in sealed tanks with CO2 injection for 200 hours at a constant temperature of 18°C. A mosto from previous Pink Bourbon cherries is added into the fermenting tanks, as well as a live culture obtained by isolating microorganisms of plants that grow on the farm. The first stage of drying happens on African beds inside polytunnels for approximately 20 days until the cherries reach 25% humidity at a maximum temperature of 40°C. The cherries then dry under partial shade inside polytunnels for around 5 more days. This multi step process helps develop the complex flavour profile of the Pink Bourbon variety.

Sidra - The best cherries are hand-selected to ensure a homogeneous and high quality fermentation process can be completed.The coffee cherries are pulped and placed in fermentation tanks with the mucilage for their fermentation period, with CO2 injections to control the fermentation environment for 24 hours. These are then washed and laid to dry inside 'heldas' (polytunnels with retractable roofs). The drying process is controlled so the coffee dries in a slow and consistent manner.The Sidra variety is a cross of Typica and Bourbon. This variety is genetically similar to Ethiopian Heirloom varieties and known for its wine like acidity, complex sweetness and botanical floral characteristics.

El Placer Duo

Pink Bourbon This naturally processed coffee starts with 95% ripe and 5% semi-ripe cherries. It undergoes 200 hours of anaerobic fermentation in CO₂-injected tanks at 18°C, enhanced by mosto from previous batches and a local microbial culture. The cherries dry on African beds inside polytunnels for 20 days, then finish drying under partial shade for 5 more days, developing a complex flavour profile. Sidra Hand-selected cherries ferment with mucilage in CO₂-controlled tanks for 24 hours before being washed and slowly dried in ‘heldas’—polytunnels with retractable roofs. Sidra, a Typica-Bourbon cross genetically similar to Ethiopian heirlooms, is prized for its wine-like acidity, complex sweetness, and floral notes.
