Watermelon Daiquiri, Monteblanco

“Watermelon Washed” represents one of Rodrigo Sánchez’s most creative processing innovations. This Caturra-Bourbon lot underwent a special fermentation with watermelon and melon fruit nectar before the usual washing stage. After picking the cherries, Rodrigo’s team added fresh juice from Citrullus family fruits (watermelons, melons) into the fermentation tank and let the coffee ferment for an astonishing 190 hours. They introduced cultivated lactobacillus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeasts to steer the fermentation, allowing the coffee beans to absorb the magical flavors of the fruits.

The result: a cup that tastes almost like a fruit cocktail. Starfruit and ripe watermelon notes shine up front, followed by nectarine sweetness and a candy-like Gushers flavor. Each sip unveils a different tropical nuance, keeping the drinker delighted and surprised. The acidity is bright yet balanced, and the sweetness is lingering.

Truly worthy of the tagline “Magic of Fruits,” this coffee will enchant adventurous coffee drinkers seeking novel flavor experiences. Because this is an experimental micro-lot produced in very limited quantity, it offers Calibre Coffee’s customers a genuinely unforgettable tasting journey.

Brewing Tip: For an iced pour-over or flash brew, this coffee works wonderfully – brewing it over ice can amplify its refreshing melon notes, making it a perfect warm-weather treat.
