Colombia Java Washed Diego Vergara

This rare Java variety, uncommon in Colombia, was brought from Indonesia for its resilience and distinctive flavour potential. Its rarity comes from the limited number of plants and intricate processing required to realise its character. At Las Flores Farm in Huila, Diego Vergara tends to 14 hectares of these delicate trees. Cherries are carefully selected, floated in a 5% alcohol solution, and oxidised for 36 hours before de-pulping. They then undergo 60 hours of anaerobic fermentation in sealed bags, interrupted by a thermo-shock to stabilise flavours, and are finally dried in stainless-steel dehumidifiers to 11% moisture. Bright, zesty, and juicy, with notes of citrus, berries, tropical fruits, and lychee, complemented by subtle floral undertones, delivering a complex and unique cup.
