The Thermal Shock Process

Elkin Guzman’s family has grown coffee in Huila for over 70 years, dedicating the last 12 years to advanced processing science. For this lot, hand-selected Tabi cherries undergo a 60-hour anaerobic fermentation in sealed tanks before being transferred to larger vessels for controlled oxidation. Warm water (35°C–40°C) is introduced for an additional 60 hours, followed by a cold-water shock that stops fermentation instantly to lock in unique fruit and candy aromatics. The beans are then slow-dried on raised beds for 18–24 days.
