The second release from El Manzano and number two of three from @elopezdiaz and @odysseycoffees is this sweet as ever washed Bourbon. The lot consists entirely of handpicked red bourbon cherries. Within a few hours of picking, the cherries are placed in a tank to remove any floaters before being put through a color sorting machine. From here the ripe cherries go through a depulper and rotating screen where pulp, oversized, and deformed beans are removed. Finally, the ripe cherries are placed in fermentation tanks for 16-24 hours before being dried on patios for another 10-12 days. This washed Bourbon has a truly elevated classic profile.
