24.01.2022 Sensory Skills is happening this week at FTA This month’s class is an intro to the SCA cupping form using coffee from Central America.

20.01.2022 New Crop Peruvian offer samples are en route from @redfoxcoffeemerchants. We will be receiving farmer specific lots as well as a organic blender from Cusco. Send us a message for more info on how to get samples. Red Fox Coffee Merchants is devoted to building equitable and resilient supply chains that give coffee farmers a voice in the marketplace, while increasing value for roasters by delivering a unique diversity of high-quality coffees.

12.01.2022 New arrivals for the Bolavens Plateau in Laos. We have three unique lots to sample: Mountain Natural - Candied Orange, Dark Choc Liquor, Spice Naga 100% Typica - Spice, Caramel, Full Body SIHO Wet Hulled - Full Body, Spice, Pine, Balanced

09.01.2022 La Palma Y El Tucan give a neat rundown below of how the Lactic Fermentation Process came to be. Two of these lots just landed: Lucila Orasica and William Osorio. If these sound right up your alley and you’d like samples, please get in touch. #repost @lapalmayeltucan When we first started processing coffee cherries at the wet mill, we instantly fell in love with the complexity of the entire process, and saw a huge potential to innovate and experiment. We slowly ...started to understand that through fermentation, we were in fact triggering a process of acidification and disintegration of sugars; the breakup of the pectin molecules found in the mucilage. As micro organisms feed on the sugars to produce ethanol, organic acids and carbon dioxide, there is a decrease in the Brix levels (an indicator of sugar content) of the coffee mucilage, which is eventually consumed. We noticed that by controlling the environment in which fermentation occurred we could have a significant impact on the final results. Temperature and Humidity levels also accelerated the process and initially ruined many batches, by increasing the chance of fungus proliferation, which spoiled the fruit and left undesirable flavors as a result. Understanding and trying to control all these variables was eye-opening for us and helped our team work towards the goal of achieving different flavor profiles, which in turn opened the doors to the world of Lactic Processed coffees. We simply loved it! Coffee cherries processed under a Lactic-Fermentation method usually require to enter our Wet Mill with high Brix Degree and PH readings, as these conditions will help the fermentation process to resist the long hours that are required for any lactic process. Lactic processes usually increase the perception of the body in the cup profile, and therefore they are mostly applied on coffee cherries coming from high-altitude farms. This is because these cherries usually contain more mucilage (higher raw material for organic-acid production) than cherries coming for the low lands, and this helps our team produce well balanced coffees. #lapalmayeltucan #lacticprocess #expectthebest
