DAK - Yuzu Crew | Colombia - Washed Cold Press - Sudan Rume

DAK Coffee Roasters is located in Amsterdam, Netherlands

From DAK

Yuzu Crew is back but this time as a washed cold process instead of a natural. A very sparkling Sudan Rume from Finca La Riviera in Colombia. This multi-stage fermentation washed is very unique with tasting notes of yuzu, lemongrass, florals.

The cherries are first being pulped and then undergo an initial fermentation process where the temperature is allowed to rise to 40-45°C over 2-3 days. Once fermentation is complete, the cherries are transferred from the GrainPro bags to tanks for the next fermentation stage. During the second fermentation, the cherries are submerged in water kept between 0-8°C and undergo a controlled cold press fermentation for up to four days. This step maximizes the potential of the coffee beans. After fermentation, the cherries are washed, dried and moved to parabolic, open, and ventilated African beds for drying.
