EXPERIMENTAL - IJEN LESTARIUSDA, KARTIKA | CM NATURAL RIPE ACIDITY, CANDY SWEETNESS, STICKY MOUTHFEEL CUPPING NOTES: Pink Guava, Jackfruit, MangosteenVARIETAL: USDA, KartikaORIGIN: East Java, IndonesiaSTATION: Dandy Dharmawan HARVEST: August 2024PROCESSING: 72hrs Whole Cherry Carbonic Maceration, Dried on Raised Beds for up to 3 weeksWEIGHT: 200gRECOMMENDED FOR: Filter Espresso We're humbled to present one of Ijen Lestari's best processes - the Carbonic Maceration Natural, a legacy of the late producer Dandy Dharmawan. For years Dandy had been experimenting with this technique, where whole cherries are placed in tanks to be covered filled with Carbon Dioxide. This enables a longer fermentation period, creating complex flavours aromatics.  This lot oozes a sweetness reminding us of ripe Pink Guava, Jackfruit before easing into a sticky finish like Mangosteen. We are honoured to share with you this legacy hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.
