This coffee is double washed. Cherries are de-pulped to remove the external fruit. The coffee beans are then water fermented overnight to break down the stick mucilage, and then the coffee is washed using channels of water to remove any remaining mucilage and debris. 

We chose to feature this lot of coffee this Christmas season for its fun character. In the cup, we see layers of  crisp and fresh fruit that we wanted to share with you. In the cup, you will taste notes of tamarind, green apple, and currants.
