Black & White Coffee Roasters

Familia Bermudez - Lychee Peach

From Finca El Paraíso in Piendamó, Cauca at 1,900 meters, this Castillo lot showcases the thermal shock method pioneered by Diego Bermudez and refined by his brother Daniel. The process—ozone cleaning, pulping, fermenting the biomass with specific yeasts to extract tropical aromatics, then pressurizing the coffee seeds with that fermented material while cycling temperatures sharply—slowly opens cellular compounds to absorb the fermented flavors before sealing them in. The result is a fruit-forward but clean cup with lychee gummy bear sweetness, white floral aromatics, black tea body, and supporting notes of pineapple, peach, tart cherry, and kiwi—tropical complexity without boozy ferment funk.
