The Producer: Wilton Benitez
This coffee is worth adding a few additional remarks regarding its processing-- anyone who has tasted it (and anyone who knows of Wilton Benitez) know's that the precision of processing is an integral part to this cup. Below is the processing steps for Wilton's "Advanced Fermentation" approach
2. Hygienization of the fruits with ozonated water and ultraviolet light to reduce the microbial load.
3. Selection of the cherry by size, density and color to guarantee the quality of the fruit.
7. Subsequently, drying begins until the coffee reaches 16% humidity to be stored for 8 days in airtight bags. This practice allows the yeasts to act developing aromas and flavor precursors.
9. Packed in Hermetic bags for food and stabilized for 15 days.
10. Threshing, electronic and manual selection to reach the required physical quality standard.
11. Quality validation by 6 tasters.
12. Vacuum packed.
