哥倫比亞 Finca Villarazo 白葡萄酒發酵日曬

About the Processing

This micro-lot of Tabi beans comes from Jairo’s Finca Villarazo, in the Quindio region. They undergo a special type of processing invented by Jairo, called White Wine Extended Fermentation (WWEF) The beans are exposed to dry anaerobic fermentation for 30 hours, dried on raised beds, naturally fermented again, before undergoing one last round of drying until they reach exactly 10.5% moisture.

Tabi is a new varietal developed by “Federacion Nacional de Cafeteros”. This unique varietal is a cross between Timor hybrid, Bourbon and Typica. The word Tabi means good in the Guambiano dialect.

The result is a medium, juicy cup with distinct notes of berries, vanilla, cola and kiwi.
