Fazenda California is located in Jacarezinho in the north-eastern tip of Paraná state. Here the growing and processing of the coffee cherries is carried along by the owner Luiz Roberto Saldanha Rodrigues. Cold Soul natural processes was developed by Luiz to give the coffee grown at low altitude unique and unusual characteristics never experienced before from this region. The extreme brightness, prominent fruit characteristics and complexity of this coffee is due to its particular process where cherries are soaked overnight in cold water in the first stage of the fermentation process. The idea is that the cold water gives a condition of “controlled fermentation”, giving the coffee a more clean and sweet cup than a conventional natural. The coffee is then finished off with slow drying on African beds for 25-30 days, completing the complexity of the process.
Suggested coffee ratio:
ESPRESSO: 15 gr for a double shot
