From the lush landscapes of El Vergel Estate comes this exceptional Bourbon Sidra, a testament to the Bayter family’s commitment to innovation and quality. This lot showcases a pioneering Natural + Mosto process, where the coffee undergoes a 72-hour anaerobic fermentation using lixiviates—nutrient-rich byproducts from Java coffee fermentation. The result is a cup brimming with complexity and balance.
Expect a vibrant sensory experience: bright apple and citrus notes lead into layers of banana and strawberry, finishing with a delicate floral sweetness. A clean, juicy acidity complements its silky body, making each sip both refreshing and memorable.
After fermentation, the beans are carefully dried—first in mechanical silos at controlled temperatures, then under the Colombian sun for 18 days—before resting for 30 days to stabilize and refine their flavor.
Born from Forest Coffee’s vision to connect farmers and roasters through innovation, this coffee reflects the Bayter family’s passion for sustainable, experimental processing. The result is a truly modern expression of Colombian terroir—bold, aromatic, and unforgettable.El Vergel Estate – Bourbon Sidra Natural + Mosto
