From HATCH

Finca El Paraíso, located in Cauca, Colombia, is a well-known family-run coffee farm led by Daniel Bermúdez, Daniel Bermúdez and their family. Founded in 2008, it has become a leader in innovative coffee processing, using proprietary technology, microbiology research, advanced biocatalysis, and its signature “thermal shock” method.

From El Paraiso:

“To ensure maximum sweetness and quality, only fully ripe Geisha coffee cherries are hand-selected. The cherries undergoes an ozone disinfection process to precede fermentation, guaranteeing a contaminant-free environment, Following immediate depulping, a controlled anaerobic fermentation of 24 to 36 hours takes place in sealed tanks, with the inoculation of Lactobacillus to intensify the smoothness and sweet notes. After that, a double thermal wash—starting with immersion in hot water at 48°C and culminating in a cold water shock at 4°C, seals the delicate aromatic compounds. Finally, drying is carried out in a dehumidifier for 30 to 40 hours, ensuring a homogeneous and controlled moisture loss.”
