WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?
Partners identifies this as a conventional natural: the Yellow Bourbon cherries were dried intact.
After drying, the lot was taken to the CarmoCoffees warehouse in Três Corações for dry milling and sorting on Pinhalense equipment.
No co-ferment ingredient or flavoring is disclosed.
The exact drying surface, duration and harvest dates are not published.
Natural processing supports the lot's soft acidity, heavier body and sweet, rounded profile without implying an experimental fermentation.
Peanut butter, date and milk chocolate, with cocoa, hazelnut, dried apricot and cherry.
