Processing details Cherries are collected and daily delivered to a co-operative wet mill operated by the Jimenez family. The cherries are depulped in an ecopulpler the same day before being left to dry ferment in tank or in plastic bags for 42 hours. The coffee is then dried for 2-3 days on patios before being moved to raised beds where it is dried for an additional 14 days.
Roaster's Notes Soul Rebel has a crisp acidity and a lingering sweetness reminiscent of brown sugar. The sugary sweetness is wrapped in aromas of dried peaches and apricots. The whole package tastes pleasant and balanced.
