Colombia Pink Bourbon Peach Co-Ferment
Sebastián Ramírez’s Peach Co-Ferment from Finca El Placer in Quindío, Colombia is a vibrant expression of fruit-forward fermentation. Hand-picked Caturra cherries are first fermented for 120 hours with wine yeast and red-fruit glucose in an anaerobic environment. After depulping, the coffee undergoes a second 72-hour anaerobic fermentation this time with CO₂ injection, dehydrated peach, and additional glucose, all while carefully monitoring pH levels. The coffee is then dried on shaded patios at a controlled 40 °C for five days to lock in clarity and complexity. The result is a juicy, aromatic cup bursting with notes of lime, lychee, peach, and orange. Bold yet balanced, this coffee showcases Sebastián’s mastery of co-fermentation and his dedication to pushing the boundaries of Colombian specialty coffee.

About the farm: The fermentation process for Sebastián Ramírez’s Watermelon Co-Ferment begins with ripe Caturra cherries that are hand-picked and placed in sealed tanks with their own mucilage. CO₂ is injected to create an anaerobic environment, and fresh watermelon along with fruit-derived glucose is added. The cherries undergo a 120-hour anaerobic fermentation in this controlled setting. After fermentation, the cherries are depulped and moved into a second fermentation stage lasting 72 hours, this time with dehydrated watermelon and more glucose to intensify the flavor. Once fermentation is complete, the coffee is dried on patios at 40 °C for about five days, with constant stirring to ensure even drying and preserve flavor clarity.
