Finca Las Flores, Anaerobic Thermal Shock

Ripe lychee, crisp semillon grape & lemonade.

---

From the hills of Acevedo, Finca Las Flores is run by the Vergara brothers – third-generation growers blending tradition with bold innovation. This Sidra Bourbon lot undergoes multiple stages of anaerobic fermentation and a warm thermal shock, unlocking its complex and captivating character. Sidra, recognised for its resilience and striking thick trunks, produces large, round cherries that thrive in the farm’s cool climate and fertile soils. Careful hand selection and precise processing ensure purity and depth in every cup. The result is a coffee dominated by fresh tropical fruits and a juicy, lingering mouthfeel — a vibrant, moreish cup that draws you back for sip after sip, embodying the craft and dedication behind every harvest.

Five Senses has sourced this lot from Finca Las Flores in Acevedo, Colombia, where it was processed using an anaerobic fermentation method—a technique designed to intensify and isolate specific flavor compounds during the drying phase. See processing methods for more detail on how anaerobic fermentation shapes coffee's final character.

The Sidra Bourbon varietal provides a genetic foundation for complexity, while the roaster identifies bright stone fruit and citrus notes (lychee, grape, lemonade) in the cup. These vibrant aromatics are characteristic of coffees that undergo controlled fermentation in sealed environments, where microbial activity concentrates fruit-forward expressions. Consult the flavor wheel to explore how these descriptors map to broader taste categories.
