Neon Sorbet
This is our fifth harvest working with Wilton Benitez and the fifth time we've had his decaf. When sourcing decaf we are always careful to purchase something that is special and competes with our caffeinated offerings. This coffee is no exception with a sweet confectionary & floral profile.

We taste delicate florals reminiscent of rose water and a sweetness that reminds us of sorbet and brown sugar. This coffee has a light body and a sweet finish.

Processing
The cherries are manually harvested, sorted by size and density, and then sterilized with ozone water and UV light. The cherries then ferment for 48 hours, during which a yeast (Saccharomyces pastorianus) is added. The cherries are then pulped and fermented for another 68 hours. During cherry fermentation, natural grain juices are produced that are incorporated in the second fermentation. The parchment is then washed and dried for 48 hours before being decaffeinated with cane sugar.
Variety
Pink Bourbon is a variety primarily grown in Huila. Though newer than other varietals, it has quickly grown in popularity for its bright, sweet, and aromatic profiles. It is now known to be an Ethiopian Landrace.
