Coffee Variety & Process: Washed & Yeast Fermented

We're excited to launch this stunning coffee, which was the result of a long-time collaboration between BICR and Silver Cloud Coffee Farm.  Our goal in this collaboration was to enhance aromas, highlight sweetness, and create a buttery mouthfeel in this Typica variety coffee.

Throughout the harvest season, we trialed a variety of wine yeasts to help break down and remove the mucilage via fermentation. The side effect of using certain types of yeast is that they impart delightful characteristics to the coffee. What we found in our experiments is that one particular yeast created a very buttery body and silky mouthfeel with rich, balanced flavors of honey, butter, chamomile, and white wine.

We sometimes describe Ka'ū coffees as hidden gems. They display a great range of flavors and are often purchased by specialty coffee lovers and locals alike. Most Ka'ū coffee farms are located between 1500′ – 2100′ above sea level and exhibit tasting notes similar to many Central American coffees: syrupy mouthfeel, complex fruit flavors, and warm flavors like brown sugar and vanilla. This farm sits high in the hills of Wood Valley.

This beautiful Ka'ū Typica is a perfect example of a balanced and full-bodied coffee that leaves you with a delicate and silky finish. Pair it with a crisp fall morning and your favorite breakfast treat for ultimate enjoyment.
