With it, we have been able to showcase excellence in processing techniques, particularly in regard to anaerobic and co-fermentation endeavors.. Our goal with each of these unique blends is to elevate flavor as the guiding principle for each creation.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHOW WE GOT HERE | \u003c\/strong\u003eThe flavor phenomenon that is cherry soda was first discovered in soda fountains in the 1950s, where skilled soda jerks often experimented with various soda-syrup flavor combinations for the patrons who frequented their establishments. It was at one of these such counters that a delightful discovery was made: Coca-Cola and cherry syrup tasted pretty darn good together. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mixture gained so much popularity in the years that followed, it eventually captured the attention of the soda giant itself. Finally, in 1982, Coca-Cola unveiled Cherry Coke as its latest product at the World's Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee, solidifying a place for this symbol of nostalgia and innovation on the shelves of grocery stores all over America - and eventually, around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHOW WE DID IT | \u003c\/strong\u003eRecreating this now ubiquitous flavor profile - which consists of cherries, lemon-lime citrus, cinnamon, and vanilla - proved to be quite a challenge for us. It required numerous attempts, endless cuppings, and a careful blend of five different coffees before we got it just right: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40% Ivan Solis - Cinnamon Anaerobic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25% Muthatai - Washed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20% Equation - Natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10% Edwin Noreña - IPA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5% Jairo Arcila - Dragonfruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTAKE A SIP | \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe result is a delightful ode to all of those first sips at soda fountains so many years ago. A natural lot from Equation Coffee and Jairo Arcila's dragon fruit co-fermented coffee join forces to give us a big POP! of fruit flavor, like black cherry. Edwin Noreña's IPA experiment lends a lovely complex citrus acidity to the blend. And finally, Ivan Solis's cinnamon co-fermented lot and the sole Kenyan coffee in the mix contribute those nuanced baking flavors for which we were searching - cinnamon, and subtle vanilla. As a whole, the tasting experience is somehow both novel and nostalgic - delighting our taste buds with something brand new, but also reminding us of an old favorite we've enjoyed our whole lives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black \u0026 White Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"12oz","offer_id":48255189287225,"sku":"","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2lb","offer_id":48255189319993,"sku":"","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5lb","offer_id":48255189352761,"sku":"","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2988\/2574\/files\/THeFuture_CherrySoda_online_3x_8cc1b61b-6d51-453b-bc76-1952ac184299.png?v=1710342302","url":"https:\/\/www.blackwhiteroasters.mom\/products\/r-future-cherry-soda","provider":"Black \u0026 White Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
