COLOMBIA P-00 by Wilton Benitez

DARK CHOCALTE NIBS, GRAPES AND JUICY BRIGHT ACIDITY Country Colombia Region Piendamó, Cauca, CO M.A.S.L 1550-1800 Producer Wilton Benitez - FINCA GRANJA PARAISO92 Process Advanced controlled processing P-00 Variety Colombia Notes Dark chocolate nibs, grapes and juicy bright acidity Best for Filter and Espresso The P-00 class of Wilton's coffees represent it's simplest controlled fermentation. These are "regional" coffees in single variety. This results in an amazing cup of every day coffee. In espresso, filter, milk preparation or cold brew. We aim to bring out the maximum potential of this bean with a fast yet gentle, 100% convection roast. We start with a short drying phase to chase the free water from between the molecules whilst maintaining plenty humidity and water activity. The end of the drying phase allows for a vigorous build up of pressure and homogeneous temperature in the dense bean whilst maintaining sufficient water to allow for ample Maillard reactions. The short development and low drop temperature aims to preserve the delicate, exotic esters and the complex acidity. The development time is kept short to maintain a maximum of volatile compounds, yet is long enough to have sufficient solubility when used in espresso.
