One plant he found had very small cherries and they called it Mokkita. The following year they had a small sample harvested from this tree cupped by Japanese coffee buyer Mamoru Taguchi. Based on the positive feedback they decided to use the next harvested for seed. The first place they planted the trees didn't take well. Believing this to be a Mokka variety from Yemen, they next decided to try planting in a drier area at 1550-1600m with different soil that might be more similar to the environment there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn January 2022 we sent samples of this coffee to RD2 in France for genetic testing to get a better idea of it's background.

Like with Rosé wine this is a fermentation that involves a period of skin contact at the start. Coffee Cherries are first rinsed and floated and inoculated with wine yeasts and fermented in a bioreactor as the first step. Then the cherries are pulped and fermented again in the must from the cherry. The yeasts produce fruity esters along with helping to reveal some of the varietal aromas from the coffee cherries. The resulting coffee has the mouthfeel and acidity of a washed coffee with enhanced fruit and floral notes that gives the impression of watermelon and strawberry and white flowers similar to what one might find in Rosé wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paradise Coffee","offers":[{"title":"4oz \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":49294910292258,"sku":"nic-yellow-4","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4oz \/ Auto Drip","offer_id":49294910325026,"sku":"nic-yellow-4-AD","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12oz \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":49294910357794,"sku":"nic-yellow","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12oz \/ Auto Drip","offer_id":49294910390562,"sku":"nic-yellow-AD","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1403\/7057\/products\/YellowPacamaraontree.jpg?v=1622583069"},{"product_id":"panama","title":"Panama Geisha Vuelta DRD Natural","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePanama Geisha Vuelta DRD Natural — Elida Estate\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA coffee of quiet brilliance from one of the world’s most celebrated farms.
