Description
This Purple Caturra–Bourbon is processed using Rodrigo Sanchez’s Mango Biche Washed method, a co-fermentation built around cultivated microorganisms and a fresh fruit–based mother culture. Selected strains of Lactobacillus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae ( Bakers/Brewers Yeast ) are first cultivated, then blended with mango, citric juices, and pineapple to form the fermentation base. Freshly harvested coffee is fermented with this mother culture for approximately 190 hours under sealed conditions, with Brix maintained above 6 and pH above 4 to highlight fruit expression without altering the coffee’s base profile. After fermentation, the coffee is washed and dried for approximately 15 days on raised beds and in mechanical dryers, allowing the tropical fermentation character to integrate while preserving clarity, sweetness, and structure.
