Lot 10b: ILLUMINATION - Washed Carbonic Macerated Geisha

ILLUMINATION – A Washed Carbonic Macerated Geisha and current China Barista Championship coffee. This coffee was recently used to place 4th in the World Barista Championship, Boston, 2019 and has has won numerous national championships. The process starts with harvesting perfectly ripe Geisha cherries reading 21-24 on BRIX. Cherries are then carefully selected for a second time before processing. The pulped coffee is then tanked for an extended period with constant monitoring and cataloging of PH, temperature, and CO2 levels. After the required time inside the CO2 infused tanks the coffee is removed, then placed on shaded, raised, African beds. Direct sunlight is avoided as the intense UV and heat can cause cracking in parchment. Temperatures, heat, and humidity are controlled inside the dry houses and are carefully maintained.
