05. Jairo Arcila Java

Tangy, citric and refreshing.

The Coffee

Jairo Arcila Java comes from Cofinet, a premium speciality coffee sourcer based in Colombia. It comes in a very limited supply, housed in vac packs to retain the experimental notes in the coffee and process.

It's a spectacular coffee and absolutely buckets of fun. It's tangy and uber citric, combining the tartness of orange juice with a cool, refreshing watermelon. Citrus notes prevail, tinged with the sharp, zingy sensation of fizzy sweets.

Usually Anaerobic Fermentation results in very intense, and often boozy flavour notes that can over power the taste of the coffee leaving all process and NO coffee. With this particular lot the process has increased intensity to very high levels, but more in terms of candy sweetness and a super tangy acidity that makes the coffee really shine. A stunning example of experimental processing done well.
