Brazil Fazenda Bela Vista Yellow Bourbon Natural Anareobic
Cupping Score - 84.00
Tasting Notes - Mandarin, Orange, Milk Chocolate
This Yellow Bourbon has a combination of drying processes. It begins with naturally drying on the patio in thick layers, in order to create an abundance of fermentation during the 7 days they allow for this stage of the process. Often during this stage, at night when it gets colder, they pile the coffee to keep the fermentation process from slowing.
After 7 days, the coffee is taken and enclosed in bags for 48 hours in the shade. After a further 3 days on the patio and 3 days in static boxes, the coffee beans are left to rest for 15 days. Finally, the beans are put into the rotative dryer at approximately 35°C. For the effort that goes into creating this varietal, it's worth the wait for the creamy soft acidity that this well balanced cup produces, with notes of Mandarin, Orange and Milk Chocolate.
