02 Finca Esther
DARKROOM DEHYDRATED CO2 FLUSH ASD SL34
Special 100g
Expect Pinot Noir-like red wine notes, an abundance of ripe berries and a bright, crisp grapefruit finish.
Our second release also comes from Finca Esther, but this time under a slightly more experimental light.
This expressive Kenyan variety, SL34, undergoes a controlled CO₂ fermentation before being slowly dried away from light, a process designed to enhance sweetness while preserving its vibrant character.
Nestled on the slopes of Panama’s Barú Volcano, Finca Esther benefits from a diverse ecosystem and distinctive terroir. Martin begins by hand-selecting only ripe coffee cherries before floating them to remove any underripe or lower-density fruit.
The selected cherries are then sealed in fermentation tanks and flushed with CO₂, removing oxygen and creating a controlled anaerobic environment. Inspired by techniques used in winemaking, this allows Martin to carefully influence fermentation and flavour development before the coffee is slowly dried.
The result is a wonderfully expressive and complex take on SL34 — winey, fruit-forward and intensely sweet, with a clean citrus finish.
