Colombia El Eden: Watermelon Co-Fermented Washed
At Finca El Eden in Huila, Rodrigo Sánchez cultures microorganisms from his own coffee cherries, feeds them with watermelon, other red fruits and a sugar-rich mix, then ferments pulped Purple Caturra coffee with that culture for 150 hours before washing it clean.
Watermelon and red-fruit character carried on the bright, structured frame of a washed coffee. If you buy one experimental lot from Reserve, make it this one, and roast it gently enough to keep the fruit clear.
Roaster's note: treat as a washed coffee; steady heat, protect aromatics at first crack, light-to-medium.
Green coffee for home and small-batch roasting. Sealed to order in multiples of 200g and 1kg.
