Components: 

Colombia - La Chiquita - Orange Co-ferment: This Orange Washed process is the successful result of Diego’s experiments in coffee processing and research into the chemistry of the coffee seed. This lot of Colombia variety coffee underwent an Orange Washed process at La Chiquita. Coffee cherries were first harvested at their optimal maturity to ensure sweetness. 

Colombia - El Mirador -  Pink Champagne: Pink Champagne Washed processing begins with harvesting coffee cherries that have measured above 20 degrees Brix. The cherries are sorted via floatation before being hand sorted to remove inconsistencies. They're then depulped and macerated with a culture made from fermenting fruit and spices. The pulped coffee and culture are fermented for over 100 hours, while having pH and Brix regularly checked. The coffee is then dried for at least 25 days before being milled and prepped for export!
