Hot Cross Nuns - Off Leash
Perla Negra is an experimental process of this producer, Fincas Mierisch. It technically is an aerobic black honey, hence the name 'Perla Negra'. They depulp optimally ripe cherries, leaving as much mucilage on the parchment as possible, and then place the pulped coffee between 2 black plastic tarps inside our warehouse with shade.
The coffee is then left like this for 96 hours, and by the end of the fermentation time a thin white layer of mold has grown on the parchment; don't worry, this is done on purpose. After 96 hours we directly sun dry for 5 days, then finish off the slow drying phase in our greenhouse with 75% shade.
This coffee shines on espresso, and is silky through milk. If you are a Low Rider fan, you'll love this coffee!
