Colombia - Watermelon Co-Ferment

Sebastian Ramirez - Watermelon Co-Ferment

Oh, hey! Watermelon Co-ferment is back! 

Watermelon candy, peach rings, sweet tea, and little lemon cookies sheepishly hiding in the back. It’s playful without being childish and sophisticated without taking itself too seriously. In other words, Heady. 

This is the kind of coffee that makes your brain hurt for a bit and forget what coffee is supposed to taste like.  And that’s the trick with Sebastián.

He doesn’t just process coffee. He gives it a new personality. 

So, if you’ve been waiting for something weird and wild to come back around, congratulations - it's here! 

But, don’t get comfortable- there isn’t much of this one. Seriously, less than 50lbs...This one is going to disappear faster than the summer breeze. 

Get weird. Drink watermelon coffee.

Co-Fermentation Process

Freshly picked Castillo cherries begin with 120 hours of anaerobic fermentation with wine yeast, letting the fermentation get funky in all the right ways. Then the cherries are de-pulped and sent back into the darkness for another 72 hours, this time with dehydrated watermelon, fruit glucose, and a little dose of CO₂.

Creating funkadelic sensations. This is what Sebastián does.

In the Cup

Watermelon candy. Peach rings. Sweet tea. A little lemon cookie is hiding in the back. It’s playful without being childish and sophisticated without taking itself too seriously. In other words, Heady. 

This is the kind of coffee that makes your brain hurt for a bit and forget what coffee is supposed to taste like.  And that’s the trick with Sebastián, he makes magic.
