El Paraiso Farm [World Famous Farm] Hikaru its unique process
There are countless coffee plantations around the world.
Coffee farms of various sizes and types exist in the world's producing regions, from large plantations run by global corporations to very small farmers who plant coffee in their backyards.
Among these numerous farms, with the rise of the concept of specialty coffee, which emphasizes traceability and regionality, one coffee farm has risen to stardom and become world famous.
These farms have their own extremely strict quality control procedures to improve the quality of their coffee, and they have also implemented various new innovations in the post-harvest process, working hard to ensure that their coffee beans are recognized as having special value and promoting this.
An easy place to promote your farm would be at an auction such as the COE (Cup of Excellence) (if you win a high prize there, you will instantly join the ranks of a star farm).
Among them, we would like to introduce some of the world's most exceptional "famous farms."
First, let's talk about Colombia's El Paraiso Farm, which is currently attracting a lot of attention from professionals and many roasters say they would like to try roasting there.
El Paraiso Farm's coffee is loved all over the world
El Paraiso Farm in Colombia is now popular worldwide. By using ingenious techniques in the selection and drying of coffee, they have created a unique flavor that can only be tasted here, and it has become so popular that it is difficult to obtain every year, supported by roasters and coffee lovers around the world.
El Paraiso Farm's double anaerobic fermentation became known around the world for its astonishing result, ranking 10th in the Colombian COE in 2018 and being sold for more than double the price of the top-place lot.
The Cauca department, where the El Paraiso farm is located, is located in the Andes mountain range in south-central Colombia and is extremely famous as a region that consistently produces specialty coffee of high quality standards. Among these, the El Paraiso farm, located at an altitude of 1,700m, is one that has received particularly high praise.
Farm owner Diego Samuel Bermudez has thoroughly researched post-harvest flavor development, creating new flavors using anaerobic fermentation and unique drying methods.
The flavors are distinctive, such as lychee, lime, rose tea, and red fruit, and each batch is named after the flavor.
Anaerobic fermentation requires complex processes, making it extremely difficult to control and recreate flavors. However, Diego, with his insatiable curiosity, skillfully managed the process and became such a professional in this selection method that he is known as the leading expert on anaerobics in Colombia.
Each batch has an astonishingly strong flavor that is completely different from any coffee you've ever had before.
This is an experience that can only be had with coffee from El Paraiso Farm.
The revolutionary flavor is what continues to attract so many people.
The medium roast retains these flavors while also reducing the acidity compared to light roasts. It also has a slightly milky taste, with hints of strawberry chocolate for a well-balanced finish.
No matter what level of roasting, the coffee's distinctive flavor is clearly noticeable, and you can enjoy the changes that come with different roasting levels. This is a coffee that everyone should try at least once.
At CROWD ROASTER , you can request your favorite roaster to roast this rare brand. As quantities are limited, we recommend adding it to your green bean collection.
Revolutionary flavors born from a unique process
Of the many flavors available at El Paraiso Farm, the most representative and popular is the "Lychee" flavored lot.
The process for this batch of lychees involved anaerobic fermentation for 48 hours at 18°C while still in the cherry state, followed by another anaerobic fermentation for 96 hours at 19°C after the pulp was removed. This laborious method involves two separate anaerobic fermentations, one for the cherry and one for the parchment. This is known as double anaerobic fermentation. During the washing process, the lychees are first washed in hot water at 40°C, then in water at 12°C. They are then dried for 34 hours at a temperature of 35°C and a humidity of 25°C, adjusting the moisture content to 11%. This complex process results in a unique flavor that cannot be found anywhere else.
The moment the coffee beans are ground, they release a refreshing aroma that makes you think of shaving real lychee. When lightly roasted, the flavor is characterized by a fresh citrus acidity. As the name suggests, this coffee has flavors reminiscent of lychee and peach, making it recommended for those who want to enjoy a refreshing taste.
The medium roast retains these flavors while also reducing the acidity compared to light roasts. It also has a slightly milky taste, with hints of strawberry chocolate for a well-balanced finish.
No matter what level of roasting, the coffee's distinctive flavor is clearly noticeable, and you can enjoy the changes that come with different roasting levels. This is a coffee that everyone should try at least once.
