COSTA RICA -VOLCAN AZUL; COLD WASHED PROCESS EXPERIMENT - SL28

We are thrilled to introduce two unique coffees from Volcán Azul - our partner farm in Costa Rica. This box set allows you to taste and learn about an innovative processing method called 'Cold Washed Process', which is developed to preserve and intensify inherent aroma compounds.

You will find two versions of the variety SL28, a 1930's Bourbon breeding selection from Scott Agricultural Laboratories in Kenya, grown at 1700masl under identical conditions Volcán Azul - the only difference being the processing method. A classic washed version of the SL28, and a Cold Washed version where we subjected the drying seeds to temperatures below 10 degree celsius under dry conditions. This prohibits both germination and fermentation, preserving and intensifying inherent aroma compounds, heightening the perceived sweetness while giving the coffee intensity and complexity.
