The Finer Details

Sending Summer Vibes

Bright coffees don’t necessarily come from ripe cherries only. Summer Solstice is made only from dried on tree cherries. Thanks to our exclusive technology, we’re able to sort out the fruitiest beans that make this cup so awesome. Expect a round and structured body, and intense notes of tropical and citrus fruits, a honey-like sweetness and malic acidity.

Also known as "Cerrado Natural", this process means that the cherries were left on the trees for a longer time, allowing them to go through the full maturation process and dry while still attached to the branch. This processing technique is only possible if the weather is very dry and stable during harvest - in fact, in many regions, allowing coffee to dry on the tree could be a big problem: the excess moisture can contribute to fungal growth and other micro-organisms.

Because of Cerrado's unique traits, this process is possible - which is great, as it brings very positive attributes to the cup: tree-dried naturals are usually characterised by a heavy body and extra-intense sweetness.
