Mt. Apo Lactic Washed - Philippines

Our partner farm Tres Rosa’s has now added the washed process to their repertoire!

We are seeing an increase in cup quality for this year’s harvest season because Tres Rosa’s has now purchased a well-tuned mechanical de-pulper and is now fully utilizing this instead of their time and labor consuming hand-cranked, manual de-pulper. 

The time savings of this upgrade has allowed Tres Rosa’s farm to also implement other more laborious processing protocols such as this new flavor: Lactic Washed. 

The de-pulped coffees with the mucilage intact are first wet fermented in a lactic solution for 24 hrs and then thoroughly washed. The beans are then dried on raised beds for 12-15 days.

This new coffee boasts flavors of florals, brown sugar, and red apple.

We recommend using this recipe as a starting point for your brews:

14g:225ml
Medium grind size
96 deg c
75ml x 3 circle center pour
Tbt of 2min10 seconds 

Thank you very much for supporting our collaboration with our Philippines farmers. Each Philippine coffee purchase you make goes a long way in deepening our partnership and really helps us achieve our goal of buying more from our local partners and improving coffee quality along the way!
