SUDAN RUME FINCA LA RIVIERA Variety: Sudan RumeFarm: La Riviera, Julio Cesar Madrid,Region: Calarcá, Quindío, ColombiaAltitude: 1700 masl Processing: Natural Ripe cherries are harvested with zero tolerance for immature green coffee. After harvesting, a second manual selection of cherries is done to remove green beans and immature ones. A "Pre-cherry" process is carried out where the selected cherries are submerged in water to maintain a temperature between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius and"float" the low-density beans for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the drying process begins with an initial rapid dehydration of the cherries, done mechanically for a period of 8 hours at a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius. After 8 hours of cherry dehydration, a resting period follows where the cherries are left at room temperature. Then, the cherries are sun-dried in canopies until they reach 11% moisture. In this stage, there are periods of sun exposure for 8 hours and resting periods for 12 hours. The drying stage takes about 15 to 20 days. Flavor Aspects: Cantaloupe Melon, Mango, Mint, Anis, Maracuja
