Description
Processing
Gâteau àla Cannelle is a honey double anaerobic cofermentation process. This means first, the farmers place the coffee cherries into sealed fermentation tanks for 50 hours. Then they depulp the coffee and ferment again with a blend of spices for another 50 hours. While it ferments, CO2 pressure builds up and the sugars and spice flavors are forced into the coffee bean. Finally, they dry the beans just like the honey process.
Roast Level
This Colombian coffee is a City Roast, which is on the light side of medium. We pull the beans from the roaster just as they turn a milk chocolate color. At this point in the roast, the coffee’s authentic flavors shine without any smokiness or oil. We find this roast level brings out the spice flavors in a way that is balanced with sweetness and smoothness.
Traceability
Gâteau àla Cannelle is Fair Trade, and comes to us from Villa Betulia in Colombia. They have high standards and work with rare and interesting coffee varieties. We love to see what they produce!
