Say hello to the latest in our annual “Coffee Juice” series: a playful, fruit‑driven lot that blurs the line between summer fruit punch and specialty coffee. Farmed by Sebastián Ramírez—whose fermentation experiments have set new benchmarks—this lot starts with a 120‑hour CO₂‑infused anaerobic fermentation of whole coffee cherries. Then, fresh watermelon and fruit glucose are layered in for a 72‑hour co‑ferment before slow patio‑drying at around 40 °C, preserving vibrant sweetness and clarity.
The cup bursts with watermelon candy notes balanced by bright citrus zest and a soft floral finish. Lightly roasted to spotlight the fermentation’s lively acidity and fruit character, it shines as a pour‑over, Aeropress, or even as a punchy, candy‑sweet espresso.
Why do we call it “Coffee Juice”? Because it really drinks like juice: playful, refreshing, and deeply layered, with each sip reminding you of what’s possible when coffee meets creative fermentation. If you’ve tried our earlier co‑ferments—like the peach or strawberry—you’ll love this uniquely summery twist: perfect for backyard brunches, iced brews on hot days, or whenever you want something that feels both fun and refined.
In short: it’s watermelon, but make it coffee—and it’s a whole lot of fun.
