About this coffee

One of Rodrigo Sánchez Valencia's process experiments at Finca Monteblanco. A mother culture is built over about eight days from a mix of Citrullus fruits (watermelon, melon) inoculated with lactobacillus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. Washed Caturra and Bourbon — chosen because their sweetness gives the microorganisms plenty to work with — then ferment for about seven days in sealed 200-litre tanks with 80 litres of the culture until they reach the target brix and pH, before drying. The aim is to keep the coffee's own character while layering in the culture's fruit aromas.
