This unique coffee comes from Granja Paraiso 92 from producer Wilton Benitez in Piendamó, Cauca.  Paraíso 92 is a highly innovative farm with its own processing plant, microbiology lab, and quality lab. This particular coffee is a washed tabi that has undergone a double anaerobic thermal shock process.  The first anaerobic fermentation phase involves adding specific microorganisms under carefully controlled conditions. Afterwards, the coffee is pulped and then subjected to a second fermentation phase. When the second fermentation phase is complete, a thermal shock process is carried out through hot and cold-water shots in an effort to improve and boost the organoleptic characteristics of the coffee.  The result is a coffee unlike any we've had before with exotic notes of tropical fruit and spice and intense sweetness.

This coffee comes from the Kiandu washing station in Nyeri county, Kenya, which is operated by the Tetu Coffee Growers society. The washing station serves 1,524 coffee producers who each maintain up to 200 coffee trees. Not only is the fertile terroir in Nyeri ideal for coffee growing, but the coffee benefits from Kenya's notable commitment to processing. The entire regimen is sometimes referred to as the 72 hour process, a triple ferment process where the third stage utilizes fresh water to remove any lingering fruit. Members of the society have access to pre-financed services such as medical, school, and farm inputs. Overall investment has led to an increase of coffee production and high returns for producers.
