Paraiso 92 also utilizes its own microbiology laboratory, quality laboratory, and process plant.
'Controlled Washed' - was the most brief explanation for the process of this particular lot. Wilton, having a background in Chemical Engineering, has implemented such knowledge into curating this coffee, allowing thy to transcend into another dimension. The process is as follows:
1. Manually harvested in season without rain (for a minimum of 3 weeks).
2. A Manual selection of only ripe fruits.
3. Sterilization with ozonated water.
4. Sterilization with ultraviolet light.
5. Pulping of the fruits.
6. Fermentation begins in an anaerobic bioreactor.
7. Yeasts are added (Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus) which contributes to the fruity aromas, spicy character, & oriented towards citrus flavours.
8. Verification of Ph and brix degrees. PH=5,5 and Brix Degree= 18.
9. Further fermentation of the fruits for 52 hours.
10. Coffee is then washed with water at 75 degrees centigrade.
11. From there, Drying the lot at 38 degrees Celsius.
12. The coffee is then dried in 46 hours in controlled mechanical equipment.
This coffee is incredible - to say the least. We've not tasted anything this complex and clean before. You're bound for a coffee experience you will not forget.
