An experimental coffee from Jairo Arcila <\/b>- owner of the coffe farm Santa Monica.<\/b>This micro lot from the variety Pink Bourbon<\/b> The coffee underwent a 72-hour anaerobic fermentation with all its natural sugars intact, together with wine yeast and passion fruit juice. The result is an exceptionally flavourful coffee, where the natural fruitiness pairs beautifully with Pink Bourbon\u2019s vibrant acidity.<\/p>\n
Jairo Arcila is a third-generation coffee grower from Quind\u00edo, Colombia. Together with his wife, Luz Helena Salazar, he has two sons, Carlos and Felipe Arcila. The entire family works with specialty coffee and is among Colombia\u2019s most innovative coffee producers and exporters.<\/p>\n
ABOUT THE PRODUCER JAIRO ARCILA<\/strong><\/p>\n Jairo\u2019s first job was with Colombia\u2019s second-largest coffee exporter, where he was responsible for its export operations for more than 40 years, until his retirement in 2019. In 1987, he purchased his first coffee farm, Finca La Esmeralda, where he planted his first Caturra lot. Alongside his full-time job, he was also able to generate additional income by producing coffee on his own farm.<\/p>\n Jairo Arcila and his team of pickers harvest selectively, choosing only the ripest coffee cherries. The cherries are then transported to the sorting facility at Santa Monica, where they are carefully hand-sorted and floated in water. This process removes underripe, defective and low-density cherries. They are then transported to the La Pradera processing facility in GrainPro bags or other suitable containers to preserve their freshness.<\/p>\n Upon arrival, the rigorous quality-control process continues. The cherries are placed in water tanks, where low-density cherries and foreign material float to the surface and can be removed. The water is reused for several rounds of sorting. Once it is no longer suitable for this purpose, it is filtered through a series of specially designed tanks before being channelled into vetiver-grass beds, where it is purified and oxygenated. This natural filtration process prevents contaminated water from leaving the facility and contributes to more environmentally sustainable production.<\/p>\n After being sorted in water, the cherries undergo another careful round of hand-sorting. Underripe, overripe and defective cherries are removed, ensuring that only those with a high sugar content continue to the next stage of processing.<\/p>\n ABOUT THIS MICRO-LOT<\/strong><\/p>\n The coffee cherries undergo a 72-hour anaerobic fermentation with their natural sugars intact, together with wine yeast. After fermentation, the cherries are spread in thin, even layers on raised drying beds, allowing for consistent airflow and exposure to sunlight. Throughout the drying process, they are carefully monitored and turned regularly to ensure even drying and prevent over-fermentation or mould formation.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":68241,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[39,46],"product_tag":[101],"varumarke":[],"produkttyp":[117],"smaker":[448,374,371],"class_list":["post-68240","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-kaffe","product_cat-single-origin","product_tag-fruktigt-smakrikt","produkttyp-single-origin","smaker-bjornbar","smaker-litchi","smaker-passionsfrukt","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gringonordic.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/68240","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gringonordic.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gringonordic.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gringonordic.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68241"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gringonordic.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68240"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gringonordic.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=68240"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gringonordic.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=68240"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gringonordic.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=68240"},{"taxonomy":"varumarke","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gringonordic.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/varumarke?post=68240"},{"taxonomy":"produkttyp","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gringonordic.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/produkttyp?post=68240"},{"taxonomy":"smaker","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gringonordic.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/smaker?post=68240"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
