Julio has been producing coffee at Milán since 1982, growing a wide range of varieties that includes Pink Bourbon, Caturra, Colombia, Castillo Naranjal, and Catiope. Milán is also where he develops his signature processing methods, including Culturing and Nitro Fermentation, alongside more traditional Washed and Natural approaches. The farm protects three natural water springs and features biological corridors planted with native guadua bamboo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nitro Washed process behind this coffee is an advanced adaptation of anaerobic fermentation, and it is remarkably involved. It begins with what Julio calls Embryonic Stress Activation: freshly picked cherries are sealed in bags for 10 to 12 hours, which initiates a metabolic response in the seed and raises its temperature and internal activity. The cherries are then cooled in water at 8 to 10°C to stabilize that activation before they are depulped, leaving the mucilage-covered parchment intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom there, the parchment rests in a sealed barrel for 10 to 12 hours of controlled oxidation before moving into a sealed bioreactor, where starter cultures, must, and nitrogen are introduced. This anaerobic fermentation runs for 4 to 6 days and is carefully monitored for temperature, pH, and Brix to hit the target cup profile. The coffee is then sun-dried for 15 to 20 days in thin layers to promote even drying, and finally rested in bags for 30 days to stabilize before it travels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are having a lot of fun with this one. It is bright, clean, and wildly fruit-forward, with notes of watermelon bubble gum, strawberry yogurt candies, mango creamsicle, and pink lemonade. While it will shine in any brewer, we think a pour-over best shows off its clarity and candy-like sweetness. Try letting your cup cool for a few minutes as you drink. The fruit notes only get more expressive as the temperature drops!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tinker Coffee Co.","offers":[{"title":"8 oz \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":53122843967804,"sku":"1002-2126-0800","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 oz \/ Espresso","offer_id":53122844000572,"sku":"1002-2126-0801","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 oz \/ Pour Over","offer_id":53122844033340,"sku":"1002-2126-0802","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 oz \/ Drip","offer_id":53122844066108,"sku":"1002-2126-0803","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 oz \/ Cold Brew","offer_id":53122844098876,"sku":"1002-2126-0804","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 oz \/ AeroPress","offer_id":53122844131644,"sku":"1002-2126-0802","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":53122844164412,"sku":"1002-2126-8000","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb \/ Espresso","offer_id":53122844197180,"sku":"1002-2126-8001","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb \/ Pour Over","offer_id":53122844229948,"sku":"1002-2126-8002","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb \/ Drip","offer_id":53122844262716,"sku":"1002-2126-8003","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb \/ Cold Brew","offer_id":53122844295484,"sku":"1002-2126-8004","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb \/ AeroPress","offer_id":53122844328252,"sku":"1002-2126-8002","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/5331\/2572\/files\/crowns_julio_madrid.png?v=1781887711"},{"product_id":"mexico-san-pedro-sochiapam","title":"Mexico - San Pedro Sochiapam","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eREGION: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eOaxaca\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePRODUCER: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eMultiple small farmers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePROCESS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWashed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eVARIETY: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eTypica\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-56dc068e-7fff-c551-e990-2c49e6fe33e4\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eELEVATION: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1700 - 1900 masl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eTASTING NOTES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eApricot, apple cider, shortbread\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProducer Story\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe municipality of Sochiapam is one of Oaxaca's most significant coffee-growing regions, nestled within a heavily forested landscape rich with biodiversity. The area borders a protected natural reserve where commercial activities such as logging, hunting, fishing, and agriculture are prohibited. Local producers take great pride in safeguarding this preserve, recognizing that the health of the surrounding ecosystem is deeply connected to the future of their farms and communities.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCoffee production in Sochiapam is largely driven by smallholder farmers, most of whom cultivate just one to two hectares of land. Mules remain an essential part of daily life, transporting coffee alongside crops such as corn and beans through the region's rugged terrain.

The Fermentation Project was built to let you taste the answer for yourself. Fermentation specialist Lucia Solis took one single lot of Guatemalan coffee and processed it four different ways, using four distinct fermentation techniques. Same farm, same harvest, same beans. Every difference you taste in these four cups comes down to one thing: how the coffee was fermented. We are honored to be roasting it and bringing the set to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8.0pt; line-height: 120%;\"\u003eThe coffee comes from Finca San Miguel Urias, owned by Hector and Lilian Leal and operated under Rueda Farms, located between Ciudad Vieja and San Miguel Dueñas in the Antigua Valley. This is genuine Antigua, one of Guatemala’s most celebrated growing regions, and the lot is a classic mix of Caturra, H1, and Bourbon. It was chosen because it is clean, sweet, and approachable, exactly the kind of coffee that lets the nuance of each fermentation shine through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8.0pt; line-height: 120%;\"\u003eEvery lot in the set was processed on site by Lucia Solis, the fermentation consultant behind the project. Lucia studied viticulture and enology at UC Davis, specializing in microbiology and fermentation science, and spent nine years in Napa Valley wine production before turning to coffee in 2014. Since then she has worked alongside producers in more than 15 countries, applying microbiological principles to bring control and reproducibility to one of the most variable stages of coffee production. Here is what she did with this lot, and what each technique tends to bring to the cup:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 4.5pt;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMechanically Demucilaged. \u003c\/b\u003eThe sticky mucilage is stripped off by machine right after pulping, minimizing fermentation.
