Bean Source Country: Colombia
Varietal: Castillo
Process: Thermal Shock Experimental

This coffee offers a dessert-like experience in a cup, crafted through a meticulous process in partnership with Cata Export in Colombia. The Castillo cherries are carefully fermented anaerobically for 48 hours at 20°C, followed by a thermic shock wash. They are then dried under controlled conditions for 34 hours at 35°C and 25% relative humidity, reaching an optimal grain moisture of 10%-11%.

The result is a unique flavor profile featuring notes of cardamom, pistachio, vanilla cake, and honey. With its thoughtful processing and distinctive taste, this coffee stands out as a truly special offering.

    This coffee is something else entirely, unique and unforgettable. The tasting notes of cardamom, pistachio, vanilla cake, and honey come through clearly, especially as it cools, and I even got a hint of cinnamon French toast at one point. There is a natural caramel sweetness that gives it a comforting balance without being overwhelming. I also think there's like an All-Fruit jam note in acidity.

    Dak has never really set a foot wrong for me. Every coffee I have tried from them has been consistently thoughtful, distinctive, and high quality. They always seem to bring something special to the table, and this coffee is no exception.

    It is the kind of coffee that makes you rethink what coffee can be, thanks to its careful processing and bold flavor profile. Sometimes I just want a pistachio cardamom drink without any added sugar, and this delivers perfectly. It is both delicious and completely distinct, an easy top grade for me.

    Cupping Method:From Revolver Advent, 18:1, 92C on the Hario v60.

    Noting V tasted with me but didn't grade because it was too unique.
