About The Coffee: Finca Deborah is shrouded in rainforest cloud coverage for much of the year. The extreme elevation and reduced temperature slows the metabolism of the trees. These cold temperatures, reaching 10 C, permit the trees to push more sugars into the cherries during production.

Nirvana starts with harvesting perfectly ripe Gesha cherries reading 21-24 on BRIX meter. The cherries are carefully selected for a second time before depositing them inside hermetically sealed tanks.

The cherries are tanked for an extended period in excess of 50 hours with constant monitoring and cataloging of both PH and temperature.

After the required time inside Argon infused tanks, the coffee is removed and placed on shaded, raised, African beds.

Produced by Jamison Savage at Finca Deborah in the Volcan region of Panama, this Limitless lot showcases the meticulous approach of Axil Coffee Roasters. The coffee is a Gesha varietal, a plant type widely celebrated in the specialty industry for its distinct floral aromatics and tea-like clarity. This specific harvest undergoes an Argon Maceration Natural process, a sophisticated technique that utilizes inert gas to control fermentation. Understanding processing methods is essential for coffee enthusiasts, as these controlled environments significantly influence the final cup profile, often highlighting the inherent brightness and complexity of the bean. When evaluating the nuanced notes of starfruit, nectarine, jasmine, and red grape found in this coffee, referencing a flavor wheel can help identify the subtle intersections between these fruit-forward and floral characteristics. This lot represents a precise marriage of high-altitude cultivation and innovative post-harvest science.
