"For this nano-lot, we chose coffees from Edelweiss Oldeani Estate and a yeast called Cima, from Lalcafé. Cima yields bolder fresh and fruit flavours in coffee when added to the pulped cherries in the maceration tank, hence the fruity and citrussy cup profile of this coffee. This is the first year we experiment with yeast fermentation and chose to work with yeasts from Lalcafé, whom we met during World of Coffee in Berlin, as the strains they produce are meant to preserve characteristics of the terroir and better express the potential of each varietal. Due to its freshness, the sample might present notes of green tea and some dryness. These flavours will fade as the green coffee rests. We have cupped this coffee 3 times so far in different stages of harvest and as both type and fully processed samples. It can be strange and puzzling (in a nice way) because the flavours are constantly developing. It's like watching a child grow..." - Edelweiss Oldeani Estate & Finagro Plantations Ltd, November, 2019
