Panama CCD Geisha

Origin: Panama

Processing: Dynamic Cherry Natural

Tasting notes: Fruit punch, pineapple, milk chocolate, freeze dried strawberries

The Process: 

This coffee underwent a fermentation process called Dynamic Cherry. In this process, cherries are spread out on a warm patio for two days prior to undergoing fermentation. This step helps reduce the moisture content of the coffee seed so that there isn’t enough water available to promote bacteriological reactions outside of the seed, but leaves enough moisture to aid enzymatic reactions within the coffee. The purpose of this is to decrease the risk of fungal development in those first few days of fermentation, and also serves to prolong the fermentation process considerably.

About the Producer:

Known for their excellence in processing, CCD endeavors to "spark collaboration in the coffee industry and beyond". If you've sampled anything from CCD before, you might be aware of their love for anaerobic fermentation as well as their ability to produce some big, bold, wild flavor profiles in any given micro or nano lot.

For this lot, our friends at CCD partnered with Jose Porta, a newcomer to the industry who's already making waves in the Chiriquí region of Panama. Although he's only been working in coffee for a little over two years, he is passionate in his pursuit of agricultural excellence.
