After a careful wash and float to sort the harvest, the beans skip the fermentation tank entirely. They go straight to the sun. The drying phase is a calculated ritual. Spread at a thickness of 1\u20135 cm, the beans bask in the heat for an initial 1 to 3 days, turned by hand to ensure even exposure. After a brief rest, they are turned again two days later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal? Caramelization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the sun does its work, the sticky mucilage on the beans begins to caramelize, infusing the bean with intense sweetness. This process continues until the moisture content reaches exactly 11%, at which point the beans are rested and stored as dried parchment. It is a method that prioritizes cleanliness and sugar development, creating a cup profile worthy of a champion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cherries are sorted by washed and floated, after sorted then immediately sun-dried without undergoing fermentation process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drying takes place over 1 to 3 days with a thickness of 1\u20135 cm, and turned, then the cherries turned again two days later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once caramelization begins, Drying continues until the moisture content reaches 11%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Afterward, the beans are stored as dried parchment at standard temperature conditions<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tasting Experience<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aroma: High-toned honey floral aromatics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Palate: Layers of ripe apricot, peach and with dark choco boldness<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Texture: A silky, medium-to-light body with a tea-like refinement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finish: Clean and expressive, with a lingering natural sweetness.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Best Brewing Methods<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To capture the delicate floral notes and the nuanced stone fruits layers, we recommend<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pour Over (V60\/Chemex): The best way to highlight the clarity, layers and &#8220;deep notes&#8221; of the apricot sweetness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Espresso (V60\/Chemex): The other way to enjoy this coffee, which this method will highlight the dark chocolate sweetness<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crafted from a 95% Red Cherry selection, this coffee is defined by its purity and sweetness. After a wash-and-float sort, the cherries are immediately placed under the sun, skipping the traditional fermentation stage entirely. Over the first 1 to 3 days, the beans are dried in thin layers (1\u20135 cm) and turned meticulously. This process allows the natural sugars to caramelize on the bean, continuing until the moisture level hits a perfect 11%.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":538,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[27,21],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-537","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-roasted-beans-premium","product_cat-roasted-beans","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/188roasters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/537","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/188roasters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/188roasters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/188roasters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/188roasters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/188roasters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=537"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/188roasters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=537"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/188roasters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
