Sasquatch is stepping up to the plate with "Big League Beans," our 12th volume in the series. Our Sasquatch series seeks out rare processes and varieties; these coffees are meant for the adventurous and explorers of new flavors, worthy of slow sipping. This coffee variety, Caturra, has become a hall of fame varietal over the past few years, and for good reason. Julio Madrid, from Finca Milan, located in Risaralda, Colombia has become a household name for producing award winning coffees. This time he took a sought after varietal and processed it with nitrogen. Ripe coffee cherries undergo embryonic stress, maintaining their temperature at 12 degrees. After pulping, the beans are placed in a bioreactor, inoculated with specific strains of yeast and bacteria for controlled fermentation. Nitrogen is injected to facilitate microbial metabolic processes, closely monitoring temperature, acidity, and Brix degrees throughout. Following bioreactor treatment, the coffee beans are solar-dried to 40% moisture, then transferred to mechanical dryers until reaching 10%-12% moisture.
Complex flavor paired with this experimental Nitrogen washed process yields an incredibly wild cup, yet still exceptionally clean throughout. We are tasting Watermelon, Big League Chew, and Strawberry Starburst that make this an enjoyable cup of watermelon juice, whether you brew it on filter or espresso. Artwork always & forever by the talented, Cesar Davila.
This coffee will ship May 8th.
