Grownby Vinhal Fermentado

This coffee is raw and unroasted, making it suitable for home roasters. Those looking for coffee beans ready for immediate consumption will find the same bean available light roasted for filter coffee, medium roasted for café crème, or dark roasted for espresso. The coffee has been fermented and processed by coffee producer Rafael Vinhal. The cherries were fermented in barrels after harvest, before being sun-dried as whole cherries. The coffee tastes sweet and fruity. For a coffee with more body and acidity, it is recommended to try the same bean in a washed processing method. For a lighter and nuttier coffee, the same bean in sun-dried processing is recommended: the entire cherry was dried on the patio immediately after harvest before the bean was removed from the cherry. Those interested in how different processing methods affect flavor profiles can order all three. The coffee beans were harvested and processed in late summer 2020 and were packed and shipped in January 2021 in Santos. The 60-kilogram jute sacks were imported to Switzerland via Bremen and the Rhine port of Basel in March 2021. The Vinhal family produces specialty coffee and regularly ranks among the winners of the Cup of Excellence, the international quality competition for coffee. Rafael Vinhal represents a new generation of young, adventurous coffee producers: he independently exports and markets his coffee without intermediaries. Through collaboration with Grownby, he is enabled to bring his freshly roasted coffee to Swiss coffee drinkers.
