Producer Jairo Arcilo has been experimenting with alternative fermentation methods to impart unique flavor profiles in his coffees. This lot was anaerobically fermented with lychees and wine yeast, then dried with trace amounts of fruit left on, classifying it as a honey process. We tasted mango, lychee, candied tropical fruit, pink florals, tamarind candy, Sunny-D, a juicy mouthfeel, and a sweet tangerine acidity.

Nicholas ★★★★★

The lychee and wine yeast fermentation really comes through in the cup—it's fruity and slightly boozy without being overpowering. I brewed it as a pour-over and the sweetness lingered nicely on the finish.

Evelyn ★★★★★

First sip and I was genuinely thrown — that lychee aroma hits you right away, like someone dropped fresh fruit into the cup. The anaerobic fermentation with wine yeast gives it a subtle boozy sweetness that lingers in a really pleasant way. Brewed it as a pour-over and it stayed juicy from hot to lu

Henry P. ★★★★★

The lychee note is unmistakable but not overpowering—it hits right after the first sip and lingers into a sweet, wine-like finish. I brewed it as a pour-over and the complexity really shined through. Never had a coffee that tasted this fruity without any added flavoring.
