Aril | CM Hybrid Process

Finca Deborah’s Aril is a meticulously processed Geisha coffee that exemplifies the farm’s commitment to innovation and excellence. This coffee undergoes an extended natural carbonic maceration process, followed by a washed finish, creating a cup that is fragrant, intense, and refined.

Aril’s unique processing combines the best of both natural and washed techniques, involving:

1. Selective Harvesting – Only perfectly ripe Geisha cherries are hand-selected at peak maturity to ensure maximum sweetness and complexity.

2. Extended Carbonic Maceration (CM) Fermentation – Whole cherries are placed in sealed stainless steel tanks infused with carbon dioxide (CO₂). This anaerobic fermentation extends over an extended period, enhancing aromatic intensity and depth of flavor.

3. Washed Finish – After fermentation, the cherries are depulped and fully washed, creating a cleaner and more structured profile while retaining the vibrant fruit characteristics of the CM process.

4. Slow Drying – The beans are carefully dried on shaded African raised beds, ensuring stability and longevity in the cup.

• Aromatics: Highly fragrant, with expressive floral notes of jasmine and honeysuckle.

• Flavor Notes: A dynamic interplay of ripe berries, tropical fruits, and citrus zest, delivering an intense and complex cup.

• Mouthfeel: Silky and refined, with a velvety texture and remarkable clarity.

• Acidity: Bright and structured, balancing fruit intensity with a crisp, elegant finish.

• Finish: Clean and persistent, leaving a lingering sweetness with floral overtones.

Why Aril Stands Out:

• Extended CM for Maximum Flavor Development: The longer carbonic maceration period enhances fruit complexity and deepens the coffee’s structure.

• Washed Finish for Clarity & Balance: Unlike traditional naturals, the washed finish refines the mouthfeel and acidity, resulting in an exceptionally clean and expressive cup.

• Elite Craftsmanship: Jamison Savage's meticulous processing and drying techniques ensure that Aril meets the highest standards, making it a sought-after choice for coffee professionals and enthusiasts alike.
