Jhoan's early interest in coffee quality and processing experimentation has led to his farm, Las Flores, being named among the \"holy trinity\" of coffees coming from Lohas Beans (alongside Nestor Lasso's El Diviso, and the Gasca brothers' Zarza). His unique processing protocols, such as the low-impact thermal shock described below, have led to some really impressive lots in recent years, and we feel very honored to have commissioned this particular Java lot in conjunction with Know Where Coffee and Lohas Beans.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRUST THE PROCESS |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAfter being picked at peak ripeness, the coffee cherries are oxidized for twelve hours at a controlled temperature before undergoing anaerobic fermentation for 50 hours. Then, they undergo a second round of oxidation in open-air tanks for an additional 20 hours. Round two of anaerobic fermentation lasts for 30 hours, after which the coffee undergoes one final round of fermentation - this time submerged  with the \u003cem\u003emusto \u003c\/em\u003ecollected during oxidation. Eventually, the cherries are placed in a masquesina to dry until optimal moisture content is achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTAKE A SIP | \u003c\/strong\u003eWhen \u003cem\u003ehot, \u003c\/em\u003ethis coffee is a certified berry BOMB. Think: strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. The acidity is fresh like complex citrus here, and the coffee is intense in a wine-y kind of way - combining with all those berry flavors to give us a sipping experience not unlike sangria. Cocoa nib is also prevalent at this temperature, mingling with all those berry flavors in a way that reminds us of chocolate-covered raspberries. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the coffee approaches a pleasantly \u003cem\u003ewarm \u003c\/em\u003etemperature, the berries drop off a bit to make room for bigger citrus, and lemon verbena takes the stage. Both the wine-like body and distinctive cocoa nib note persevere, but the cup as a whole becomes fresher and more tart at this temperature. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen \u003cem\u003ecool, \u003c\/em\u003ethis rare variety's characteristics are really put on display as the coffee becomes more herbal and remains very citric. Cocoa nib gives way to something smoother, like craft chocolate, and that play between citrus and chocolate reminds us of  something delightfully nostalgic: Terry's Chocolate Oranges. At this temperature, intensity quiets and freshness peaks, sipping less like sangria and more like a sparkling strawberry soda.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8\"\u003e___________________________________________________________________________\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin |\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBruselas, Huila, Colombia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer |\u003c\/strong\u003e Jhoan Vergara\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFarm |\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Las Flores\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess |\u003c\/strong\u003e Thermal Shock\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety |\u003c\/strong\u003e  Java\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElevation |\u003c\/strong\u003e 2000 masl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black \u0026 White Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"100g","offer_id":49996806619449,"sku":"BWSO-JhV-TS10","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2988\/2574\/files\/BL_JhoanVergara_ThermalShockJava_cardonline_4x_adc6fb7e-00df-4829-81c5-bb2b40b4d6b1.png?v=1727876978","url":"https:\/\/www.blackwhiteroasters.mom\/products\/r-jhoan-vergara-thermal-shock-java","provider":"Black \u0026 White Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
