COLOMBIA - Las Flores, Java Thermo Shock Natural

The Java variety, originally hailing from Ethiopia and later cultivated in Indonesia, has found a nurturing home at Finca Las Flores in Colombia's Huila region. Renowned for its elongated beans and distinctive cup profile, the Java variety offers a unique sensory experience.

At Finca Las Flores, the Vergara family employs an innovative Thermal Shock Natural processing method to enhance the coffee's inherent qualities. This meticulous process begins with the careful selection of ripe cherries, which undergo an initial 12-hour oxidation at controlled temperatures. Following this, the cherries are subjected to a 50-hour anaerobic fermentation, succeeded by a second oxidation phase lasting 20 hours. A subsequent 30-hour anaerobic fermentation further develops the coffee's complex flavour profile. To halt fermentation and lock in the desired characteristics, the beans are washed with water heated to 40°C and then rapidly cooled using cold water—a technique known as thermal shock. Finally, the coffee is dried to achieve optimal moisture content.

The result is a vibrant and nuanced cup, bursting with pronounced berry notes reminiscent of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. The coffee exhibits a fresh, complex citrus acidity and a wine-like intensity, creating a sensory experience akin to enjoying a fine sangria. As the coffee cools, flavours evolve to reveal hints of lemon verbena and cocoa nib, culminating in a harmonious balance of citrus and chocolate reminiscent of a sparkling raspberry soda. This exceptional profile underscores the dedication and expertise of the Vergara family, positioning the Java Natural Thermal Shock from Finca Las Flores as one of the most esteemed coffees globally.

This coffee is bold, sweet and tropical.

We recommend brewing this coffee using 1 / 2 / 1 g/L of TONIK / JAMM / LYLAC to make it sweeter, more floral and vibrant.
