Diego Bermudez - Red Plum

From Finca El Paraiso in Piendamó, Cauca, Colombia at 1,900 meters, this Castillo was processed using Diego Bermudez's signature Red Plum culture—a proprietary blend of cascara extract, mucilage, and wine yeast that initiates primary and secondary fermentation under pressure. After fermentation, the coffee receives a thermal shock wash, then dries at a controlled 35°C for 34 hours. The result is surprisingly balanced despite its intensive processing: white grape, peach, and turbinado sugar notes you'd expect from rare varietals, anchored by a playful strawberry candy character. This is coffee that proves Bermudez's reputation for extracting extraordinary flavor complexity through scientific precision.
