Colombian honey processed coffee infused with grapes presents a unique and delightful combination that brings out the best of both worlds. The honey processing method enhances the coffee's natural sweetness and body, as the sticky mucilage is left on the beans during fermentation, resulting in a smooth, rich flavor. When infused with grapes, this coffee takes on a fruity aroma that bursts with notes of ripe, juicy berries, adding a vibrant complexity to each cup. The bright acidity of the coffee pairs beautifully with the sweet, tart flavors of the grapes, creating a refreshing and lively brew that dances on the palate.
This coffee was exposed to a dry anaerobic fermentation period of 72 hours with the pulp on. During this fermentation stage, grapes were added. The cherries were then pulped and placed to dry on raised beds until ideal moisture content was achieved.
