It began in 2016 when he drew inspiration from wine making, where he saw that grapes fermented in cooler environments had more desirable floral and fruity notes. He began his experiments by freezing pulped coffee. The freezer halted fermentation entirely and killed the embryo, so the coffee aged very quickly. However, Rodrigo didn’t give up because he noticed that the profile had an inkling of the desirable fruity and floral notes and he knew he was on the right track. Rodrigo continued experimenting with different temperatures and also expanded the scope of his project to include Brix degrees (sugar content) and different coffee varieties until he found exactly the right combination.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCherry is selectively handpicked and processed on the farm. Workers are trained to pick cherry at 26 to 30 Brix degrees. Once picked, cherry is floated and visually sorted to remove any underripes or damaged cherry. Only the best cherry is pulped and processed using this method. Coffee is put in GrainPro bags. The sealed bags are placed in an industrial fridge to ferment at 10 to 14 degrees Celsius for 76 hours. The cold temperatures slow down microbial activity and allow fermentation to happen more slowly. Following fermentation, parchment is washed in clean water and laid in direct sunlight on parabolic beds. Parchment is dried in direct sunlight for 1 to 2 days before being moved to raised beds in the shade. Parchment is raked frequently to ensure even drying. It takes about 23 to 25 days for parchment to dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"storyblock py-3 py-md-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wrapping\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm col-text pb-5 d-flex flex-column justify-content-center storyblock-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"richtext\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ecoffeebeans and information sourced through Sucafina\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HALBSTARK","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":53276650373459,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000g","offer_id":53276650406227,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/1564\/1427\/files\/RSV_color_neu.png?v=1780049713","url":"https:\/\/halbstark-kaffee.de\/products\/rodrigo-sanchez-valencia-colombia","provider":"HALBSTARK Café \u0026 Roastery ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
