GP92 Varietal Series Lot #CO-1 - Sudan Rume, Colombia

100g Limited Edition Can - Whole Bean

Produced and processed by Wilton Benitez at Grange Paraiso 92 in Piendamo, Cauca, Colombia.

In July 2024, I (Lynsey) was able to visit Wilton and get a first hand look at the innovative processing protocols that he is so well known for.  His commitment to pushing the boundaries of alternative processing in coffee is unwavering.

Experimentation with ultra-sound chamber technology, wild yeast replication and the now famous "thermal-shock" method are just a few of the innovations I was lucky enough to deep-dive into.

Cupping and brewing this coffee for Wilton at Paraiso 92 was an absolute joy! I hope it inspires a feeling of adventure in you, as it did for me!

PROCESSING:

Whole cherries are thermal-shock washed prior to pulping and fermentation.

Seeds and mucilage are then moved to an anaerobic bioreactor for fermentation along with a yeast-innolculation of Saccharomyces Pastorianus.

72 hours of total fermentation occur prior to drying and milling.

Saccharomyces pastoriens was specifically selected to increase the content of Dactyl vicuna diketones, the goal being to enhance the coffee's body in the form of a caramel/buttery texture and aroma in the form of intense tropical fruit and florals.
