Illumination | Washed Carbonic Macerated

Process

Illumination is an advanced, washed, carbonic maceration process. Commonly used in the wine industry, Jamison pioneered carbonic maceration's use with coffee in 2016, sparking a coffee processing revolution around the world. Cherries are grown at elevations exceeding 6200ft in rich, volcanic soils, and shade-grown under tropical rainforest canopy. The process begins with harvesting only the ripest cherries, then pulping them, leaving a residual amount amount fruit to be fermented. The coffee is then deposited in hermetically sealed tanks and periodically infused with CO2, creating an anaerobic environment, ideal for controlling fermentation.

Pomegranate, ripe nectarine, with a long, black tea-like finish are the hallmarks of this distinguished and transparent cup. For those interested in an extraordinarily clean, vibrant, washed, Geisha Illumination is will certainly be the cup.
