Natural Bourbon Cafè Pacas SHG Greentide Selection
Volcano are the selection of SHG coffees by GreenTide in El Salvador. The collaboration with Cafè Pacas has permitted to prepare these brilliant coffees from Santa Ana Volcano. A blend of different variety and farms selected in small screen for super intense tastes and aromas.
NATURAL PROCESS:
Coffee Cherries are carefully hand-picked at the farm. After picking them, any underripe, dry or green cherry is removed from the batch. The coffee cherries are transported to Cafè Pacas mill Vivagua. The cherries are not pulped. They are spread out immediately on the patios for drying. The first 2 days, the layer of coffee is very thin. This is done on purpose. In a thin layer, the coffee cherries can dry faster and we can prevent any risks of fermentation. After the 3rd day, the layer of coffee becomes thicker. This allows the cherries to dry more slowly and evenly. These layers of coffee are moved 5-8 times each day, every day. At night, the coffee is piled up into small batches and covered with yute bags to protect it from dew or unexpected rains.
The humidity of the coffee is measured every day. Once it reaches 12%, the coffee is packed into yute bags and stored in the warehouse in a spot that is previously assigned in order to preserve traceability. The parchment remains in the warehouse until it is ready to be dry milled.
Aromatic notes: Dark Chocolate, cherry, brilliant acidity cocoa seeds, banana, strong body, tamarind, strawberry.
