Sebastian Ramirez "Stay Peachy"

Medium - Natural Peach Experimental - Colombia Huila

Canned Peaches | Cobbler-like Sweetness

With our friends at Unblended, we are so excited to bring you another amazing coffee that has a flavor profile that embodies Peach perfectly! So of course we had to name it "Stay Peachy!" With coffee as vibrant and as sweet as this, we know that it will be a show stopper.

Being an expert mentor in the Unblended UVI program, Sebastián is really pushing the envelope for specialty coffee by innovating with carbonic maceration, coffee profiles, and varietals. His passion shines bright in this cup as this coffee is produced using a co-fermentation process that involves wine yeast, dehydrated fruit, and fruit glucose, resulting in a distinct peach flavor profile.

The first step in his process to craft this was to be sure the cherries are collected and classified. Next, the cherries undergo anaerobic fermentation using wine yeast for 120 hours. Then they are de-pulped and then subjected to a 72-hour anaerobic fermentation with CO2 injection, followed by the addition of dehydrated fruit and fruit glucose. Throughout the process, pH levels are continuously monitored, and the coffee is dried slowly and carefully. This process leads to a flavor profile that is perfectly peachy and sweet like some home made peach cobbler. And We just know you'll love it!

Produced by Sebastián Ramirez in the Quindio region of Colombia, this "Stay Peachy" lot showcases the potential of the Caturra varietal when subjected to meticulous post-harvest handling. As a natural-processed coffee, this selection benefits from the processing methods that allow the cherry to impart distinct sweetness and fruit-forward characteristics directly into the bean. Natural-processed coffees often exhibit heavier body and intensified fruit profiles, which align here with the roaster’s specific notes of canned peaches and cobbler-like sweetness.

Sourced by Peach Coffee Roasters, this offering serves as a compelling example of how regional terroir and traditional processing techniques converge to create a unique sensory experience. For those looking to better understand the nuances of these flavor profiles, consulting a flavor wheel can be an excellent way to categorize the complex sugars and acidity present in this specific cup.
