DAK - Melon Splash | Colombia - Co Fermented with Melon - Caturra

DAK Coffee Roasters is located in Amsterdam, Netherlands

From DAK

We have a melon co-fermented coffee from Finca Milan! For those who like co-fermented coffees, this one is delicious, more subtle and refined than our previous "Melondo" but as delicious. We find in the cup watermelon, kiwi and cantaloupe. A label "omniroast" will appear on your box for this reason.

The coffee is fermented in a bioreactor where it is combined with fruit must ( watermelon in this case ), starter cultures, and culturing leachates. The oxygen inside the bioreactor is replaced with nitrogen. Throughout this process, the temperature, pH, and Brix levels are closely monitored. The parameters for these fermentations are established based on continuous research and are adhered to a specific range of values. After fermentation and removing of the mucilage, the coffee beans undergo a meticulous drying process. They are first sun-dried for twenty days, soaking up the natural essence of the sun. This is followed by a five-day mechanical drying period to fine-tune the moisture content. This combination of drying methods preserves the beans’ delicate flavors and aromas.
