Country of origin: Colombia / Colombia

Producing area: Caldas province / Caldas

Manor: San Jose Manor / Finca San Jose

Bean seed: Castillo, Naranjal

Treatment: rum barrel fermentation, water washing treatment

This Colombian coffee raw bean is selected as the three-time preferred Supremo grade Castillo Castillo Naranjal tree species, which is peeled and fermented in an oak barrel at a low temperature. After fermentation, it is washed and dried on a sun rack.

This method of treatment originated from Finka. Monsalve Botero, the hostess of San Jose Manor, had the idea that one day she was accompanying her husband (working in rum oak barrel production and rum brewing) to fill the rum distillate for fermentation when she suddenly thought that if the coffee beans were fermented in oak barrels, would there be a different flavor?

To this end, the hostess Monsalve Botero began in 2013 to try different length of Colombian oak barrels for different fermentation time of wine-making low-temperature fermentation, this bean is one of the best in various attempts.

Flavored whisky, lime, cantaloupe, cherry, black plum, drupe, wine-scented chocolate.

When brewing this type of alcoholic coffee beans, Qianjie Coffee shares some of its own cooking experience:

1. Choose a filter cup with fast flow rate such as hario V60, which can make the coffee more fragrant.

2, in order to retain the aroma of this kind of beans, Qianjie coffee is generally not roasted too deep, basically roasting to shallow roasting, so in brewing, Qianjie coffee will choose medium grind, water temperature 89-91 ℃, powder-to-water ratio is 1:15, in brewing can increase stirring to highlight the aroma.
