/ THE ART OF pH & TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED FERMENTATION /
Such an artful display of controlled fermentation gives this Pink Bourbon juicy, winey acidity and sweetness of Ribena and pink lemonade.
Pre-fermented for 24 hours in permeable nylon sacks— the temperature of the coffee cherries remaining low and stable. Breathability. Andrés blends several days worth of cherry pickings into fermentation tanks as they come in. Every day fresh cherries are added, lowing the pH— temps are cool which allows for this extended fermentation while keeping the coffee clean.
/ RESTING GUIDE /
La Cumbre tends to start tasting good slightly later than other coffees. It's roasted a little lighter so takes just a little longer to develop. I've found at 14 days post roast with it's peak between day 30 and 60.
/ BREW GUIDE /
For La Cumbre I've been doing a bloom + 3 pours pattern. It results in a sweet, clean and juicy cup of fucking yummy coffee. Grind size is medium— aim for a brew time of 2:30.
1 part coffee to 15 parts water (33.3 grams of coffee to 500 grams of water.)
93°C water
1. First pour will be 3 x the weight of the ground coffee— about 100g of water if you are brewing 33.3g of coffee. No need to be crazy exact. Wait 1 minute.
2. @ 60 seconds on the timer, slowly pour in a spiral pattern up to 300g.
3. When the brewer has almost but not completely drained, slowly pour another 100g. So you should be up to 400g on the scale and time should be around 2:00.
4. Same again, once the brewer has almost drained, add your remaining 100g of water bringing our total up to 500g. Pick up the brewer and swirl it to flatten the bed. The brewer should be completely drained of water by 2:30-2:45.
This is just a guide and part of the fun of coffee is playing around and seeing what happens. So I implore you to PLAY AROUND and see what you come up with.
