This funky little number comes to us from the the Colombian wizard Ignacio Rodriguez who believes that "truly excellent specialty coffee will evoke the “magic of coffee” for drinkers" and after trying this we believe every word. 

The cherries are handpicked by Ignacio's highly skilled team who ensure that only the ripest cherries are harvested and they're paid well above the industry standard for their meticulous level of care. 

This next step is where the real magic happens and when you taste this brew you'll be convinced Ignacio is a literal wizard.

The cherries are sorted then placed in a huge fermentation tanks where they are sealed then injected with CO2. Typically the cherries ferment by ingesting oxygen and emit CO2 however, by removing as much oxygen as possible and pumping the tanks full of CO2 it allows different varieties of microbes and enzymes to become more active which in turn produces a completely unexpected flavour profile with strong boozy notes and Percy Pigs... obviously.

The magic doesn't stop here though, Ignacio has also worked tirelessly to make his estate one of Sucafina's IMPACT certified farms. You can find out more about this wonderful programme on our blog Sucafina, IMPACT & Fazenda Nunes
