This unique and exciting coffee comes to us from our friends at El Vergel Estate in the Tolima region of Colombia. Originally an avocado farm, they began supplementing the farms income by growing coffee in 2006, and began growing specialty coffee varieties in 2016. Since then, brothers Elias and Shady started to experiment with innovative and expectation-defying processes, tinkering like mad scientists.
This lot is the result of one of those experiments. The Red and Yellow Caturra varietals are picked and undergo a 48-60 hour anaerobic fermentation with controlled pH levels, followed by an intermittent drying process at varying moisture levels for added complexity. From there, the coffee is stored in silos to achieve optimal moisture, and then is put through a 45-day chilling period to enhance flavor.
All of this results in a coffee that lives up to its name. It's full of tropical, fruit punch flavors, such as the obvious guava and banana, but with notes of strawberry and sour candy as well. It's unlike anything we've ever had on our menu, and not something you should miss.
Frequently Asked Questions
When Will My Order Ship?
We roast Monday through Friday, and most orders ship the next roast day from when they are placed.
The only exception is any pre-order item, which will ship on the date stated on that item's pre-order page.
Do You Have Recommendations For Brewing?
Yes!
First, we recommend a brewing ratio of about 1:17. So whatever your dose of coffee is for a brew (we recommend weighing your coffee in grams), multiply that number by 17, and use that weight of water to brew.
Second, always try to grind your coffee fresh, directly before you brew. This will significantly impact the flavor.
Lastly, and maybe most important, always use the highest quality water you can. Filtered is always best. Coffee is 98.5% water, so the water you use makes a huge difference.
Any other questions? Just drop us a line.
Is ReAnimator Coffee Organic/Fair Trade?
While some of our coffees may happen to be certified organic or fair trade, we do not specifically look for either of these certifications when sourcing coffees, and do not market them as such.
All of our coffees are bought at fixed prices above the c-market, and 99% of the time we are paying higher prices than the Fair Trade Certified price.
Our sourcing goals are always quality and flavor focused, and we buy from producers and importers we trust to provide us with coffee that fits into our ideology.
