I sampled a bunch of very fruity coffees and was able to get my hands on a bag of this delicious coffee from Columbia. It's a co-ferment with cholupa, a lemonade-like fruit, and dried coconut. If you never had a co-fermented coffee before, essentially it undergoes a secondary fermentation process to enhance the flavor. This one is fed with sugar and molasses to increase the microbial activity, then sealed for 8 days to create a super unique cup of coffee. The Purple Caturra varietal is already known for its high sugar content, measured in Brix, but the added layer of co-fermentation makes for a pleasantly sweet cup. I liken the coffee to sipping on a \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePiña colada, due to the coconut flavor mixed with the bright fruit flavors. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis coffee is best roasted to a lighter level. Natural coffees tend to roast unevenly and exhibit variances in roast color. Anaerobic Natural Co-fermented coffees take this to an entirely new level due to the additional sugars and fermentation time, so you will find that the coffee has an uneven coloration. I tried it around a medium and stretched out the roast to even out the color and it lost too much of the interesting fruity flavor to justify treating it that way. I take it to about 30 seconds past first crack and drop around 202.5C, which by weight-loss is more of a medium-light, but the ground color appears a City roast at around 90 on the Agtron scale. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewer's Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis coffee is best brewed with pour-over to be able to extract as much of the unique flavors as possible. I've found that as an espresso, it makes for a wonderful single origin shot, but be prepared for a bright fruit punch bowl, not a classic dark chocolate and nutty profile. Add some steamed milk to that shot and you have a very special latte that is sure to \u003c\/span\u003eimpress your taste buds. This is a coffee you're going to want to explore with and try new things. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roasters Notebook","offers":[{"title":"8 OZ (227 g) \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":51441978474663,"sku":null,"price":19.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 OZ (227 g) \/ Ground","offer_id":51441978507431,"sku":null,"price":19.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6998\/4935\/files\/columbiafincamonteblancocoferment.jpg?v=1790739902","url":"https:\/\/roastersnotebook.com\/products\/columbia-finca-monteblanco-coferment","provider":"Roasters Notebook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
