Hydrangea - Lychee Finca El Paraiso - (Colombia, Double Anaerobic Thermal Shock, Castillo)

Tasting Notes: Osmanthus, Lychee, Kasugai Gummies

Origin: El Paraiso, Cauca, Colombia

Variety: Castillo

Producer: Samuel Diego Bermudez 

Elevation: 1960 masl

Process: Double Anaerobic Thermal Shock

Lychee is crafted through an extended fermentation process combining aerobic and anaerobic stages with specific yeast cultures aimed at amplifying fruit character. After fermentation, a thermal shock wash helps fix aromatics.

The result is a lively cup with notes of osmanthus, lychee, and kasugai gummies, with a creamy body and malic acidity.

We chose this lot for its distinctive stone fruit sweetness and refreshing, juicy finish.
