About This Coffee
This year’s crop from Yorgeny Torres is a stellar example of the coffee we love to feature at Elm: attentively cared for by small producers interested in both quality and ecology, with the end result of a cup bursting with sweetness and complexity, tasting strongly of mango, raspberry and caramel.
Yorgeny’s coffee is technically an anaerobic washed coffee, which she has been doing long before it was the cool new thing. After the ripe coffee cherry has been pulped, she ferments them in sealed pickle barrels, where the low oxygen environment promotes more desirable flavors. She carefully manages the pH and brix to know when exactly when to pull the coffee for washing. The end result is a very clean, complex cup with more pronounced, punchy fruit flavors.
