Raxidi Lobo Estate - Pichia Yeast

Over the last few harvests, producers Richard Jos and Rachel Lobo have focused on the anaerobic natural process. Building on lessons they've learnt, they chose the Pichia yeast for this lot. Its journey began with 15 seasoned pickers from the estate's permanent staff harvesting ripe red cherries. After washing with fresh spring water and filtering out low-density floaters, the best of the harvest was moved to stainless steel tanks. There, Pichia yeast guided a 48-hour anaerobic fermentation, followed by slow drying on raised beds for 21 days. Roasted to a light profile, the result is an expressive lot that opens with the aroma of strawberry jam, trailed by layers that move from raspberry and plum tart to marigold and red cherry. The pleasant, punchy finish that rounds off each sip reminds us of candied orange peels. We recommend brewing this coffee black, either as a pour over or using an AeroPress. Recommended Resting Period: 13 days. Note: This coffee pack is a special release with limited availability and, therefore, cannot be included in a subscription plan.
