We are pleased to introduce this remarkable Finca Deborah Vivid. In the cup, expect delicate floral notes of violet and jasmine, balanced by bright touches of bergamot and raspberry. Processed through carbonic maceration with a washed finish, this coffee reflects thoughtful innovation, delivering a refined and elegant flavor profile with subtle complexity.

Process:

The VIVID process starts with harvesting perfectly ripe Geisha cherries reading 21-24 on BRIX.
The cherries are then carefully selected for a second time before processing. After selection,
the cherries are deposited into a hermetically sealed tank for an extended period exceeding 50
hours. The coffee is constantly monitored and data cataloged. PH, temperature, and CO2 levels
are the primary units carefully observed. Ambient temperatures are monitored and controlled to
ensure linearity in the processing as well, with periodic infusions ensuring the fermentation
process is controlled.

After the required time inside the CO2 infused tanks, the cherries are removed. The cherries are
then milled and de-fruited, rinsed in fresh water, then placed on a shaded, 3 tiered, raised
African bed system designed by Jamison. Direct sunlight is avoided as the intense UV and heat
can cause cracking in parchment thus exposing the delicate grain to oxidation and damage.
Temperatures, heat, and humidity are strictly controlled inside the dry houses and are
maintained within certain parameters.

When the coffee has dried to approximately 11% it is bagged in grain-pro and stored in Bodega
where temperatures are cool and stable.
