This Caturra coffee from Colombia was produced by Sebastian Ramirez and has undergone a unique process called thermal shock. After picking the coffee cherries they are placed in a controlled environment where the cherries undergoes a rapid heating and cooling that dramatically effects the final flavor. In this instance it has a strong strawberry aroma and when roasting these beans gave me nostalgic aromas of a strawberry toaster pastry. These berry aromas are melded with the herbal notes reminiscent of hibiscus tea. In the cup the flavor is very delicate and had an almost tea-like body complemented by medium-low acidity that finishes very clean on the pallet. I get notes of berries and fruit tea with an undertones of chocolate.
