Known for understanding processing in a way that few producers do, there was a time when Diego was accused of \"cheating\" because some of the flavors found in his coffees were so intense and nuanced, people thought they must be artificial or added. In reality, those flavors are a direct result of Diego's innovative and science-laden processing methods. His use of primary and secondary fermentation has produced some of the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewildest \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eflavor experiences we've ever enjoyed at the cupping table, and today's release has a lot to teach us about what is possible in contemporary coffee processing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRUST THE PROCESS | \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProcessing begins with the development of a proprietary culture recipe using cascara extract, mucilage, and wine yeast that Diego affectionately named \"Red Plum.\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter being handpicked at peak ripeness, coffee cherries are sorted for quality and thoroughly washed with filtered water. Next, the coffee is introduced to the Red Plum culture, and they are left to mingle in a sealed container under pressure for a set amount of time. After fermentation, the coffee undergoes a thermal shock with more filtered water before beginning a controlled drying process. During this time, air in the drying room is kept at a steady 35 degrees Celsius and is constantly recirculated for 34 hours, until optimal moisture content is achieved. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTAKE A SIP | \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you’re familiar with Diego’s work, you might expect this coffee to pack a proverbial fermentation punch, but it’s actually surprisingly subdued and balanced given the extent of its processing journey. It does, however, punch way above its weight class in terms of variety, showcasing flavor notes you might expect to find in a Gesha coffee (like white grape, peach, and turbinado sugar) rather than Castillo. A playful-but-prominent note of strawberry candy hints at the tinkering Diego’s done with this lot, but it’s certainly not the loudest offering on his cupping table. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin | \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePiendamó, Cauca, Colombia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiego Bermudez\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFarm |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinca El Paraiso\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThermal Shock Washed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCastillo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-49788fb9-7fff-6551-ae8b-268a0355c98e\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElevation | \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e1900 MASL\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black \u0026 White Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"12oz","offer_id":52015231140153,"sku":"BWSO-DiB-RP12","price":19.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2lb","offer_id":52015231172921,"sku":"BWSO-DiB-RP02","price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb","offer_id":52015231205689,"sku":"BWSO-DiB-RP05","price":122.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wholesale Sample - 100g (1 Per Order)","offer_id":52015231238457,"sku":"BWSO-DiB-RPSP","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brew Card (max 3 per order)","offer_id":52015231271225,"sku":"BREW CARD","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2988\/2574\/files\/DiegoBermudez_redplum_brewcardonline_4x_8b4d7806-85dc-4ae0-958e-b2de87d63b9b.png?v=1773848895","url":"https:\/\/www.blackwhiteroasters.mom\/products\/w-diego-bermudez-red-plum","provider":"Black \u0026 White Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
