Berry, nuts

A natural from Fazenda Dona Nenem in the Cerrado that keeps Brazil's nutty character but adds winey, berry sweetness, with just a little bitterness. For drinkers bored of ordinary Brazils.

From El Brillante, an 11 ha farm in Santa María, Huila run by father and son Alberto and Carlos Alberto Lizarazo, who keep part of the land as native forest. Cherries ferment in sealed bags, are pulped and dry-fermented 48 hours, then dried 8 to 15 days under cover. Light and floral with a long finish.
Orange, Darjeeling, blackcurrant

Pink Bourbon from El Diviso, the Huila farm whose coffee the 2022 World Barista Champion used. Cherries oxidise 48 hours with their mosto, dry-ferment 60 hours sealed, wet-ferment 24 hours at 16 to 17 °C, then get a 50 °C hot soak and cold rinse.
