Context
Produced by Diego Bermudez in Colombia, the DAK Milky Cake is a unique expression of the Castillo varietal. This lot is processed using the thermal shock method, a technique that involves rapid temperature changes to influence the fermentation environment and final cup profile. As detailed in our processing methods explainer, such controlled interventions are often used to highlight specific aromatic compounds, resulting in the distinct notes of pistachio, cardamom, vanilla cake, and chai identified by the roaster, Revolver Coffee.
When evaluating coffees with such complex, dessert-like profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to categorize these nuanced spice and pastry characteristics. While Castillo is often recognized for its resilience and adaptability, the application of thermal shock processing pushes the boundaries of traditional cup profiles, offering a sensory experience that diverges significantly from standard washed or natural preparations.
