Limited Release
009C - Chilled Cherry Espresso
As our first-ever Limited Release aluminium espresso capsules, we get an incredible texture and body with elevated red notes and a lingering sugariness that coats the palate.
The release of Chilled Cherry marks our greatly-anticipated return to the team at Creativa Coffee District, the pioneering group that brought us Static Cherry, one of the most popular Limited Releases so far.
Their work to bring Panamanian coffee producers together around clean coffee cultivation continues to make a lasting impact on the families that they partner with in Hornito, Renacimiento, and Boquete. Through renewable energy programmes and organic composting at their partner’s farms, they have taken great leaps to reduce the carbon footprint of their production. Creating this synergy between the farmer’s outstanding coffee cultivation and Creativa’s state-of-the-art facilities and innovation leads to truly incredible results in the cup.
Similarly to Static Cherry, collaborating producers delivered their beautifully-ripe Gesha cherries to the Creativa mill. The next step in every lot’s journey is a strict quality check, with the team looking for an average Brix level of 18° and a pH above 4.5 with each coffee then being assigned to one of their progressive fermentation methods. Limited Release Rare 009 underwent the unique Chilled Cherry process.
Placed in airtight steel tanks that are lined with jackets to enable the flow of cold water, this process cools the cherries without touching them. The lower temperatures of the fermentation allow microorganisms to develop in a controlled, consistent environment. It ensures the pH level reduces slowly. This controlled fermentation can last up to weeks at a time, maintaining an average temperature of 15º celsius throughout the entire process.
This process has really given Chilled Cherry its own personality, presenting an incredible versatility across different brew methods, revealing complex layers of fruit sweetness. As we profiled the beans, we experienced a delightfully-vibrant, sparkling acidity, with a zesty zing and juiciness. In these aluminium capsules, as expected, there is more texture and body, but it also enhanced deeper red notes and a lingering sugaryness that coated the palette. Overall, it’s bright, effervescent, and very sweet.
A pleasure to drink and a beautiful example of the world-class quality of Panama Gesha and the amazing work of Creativa Coffee District, we are thrilled to bring you Chilled Cherry, the latest addition to our Limited Rare Release collection.
For variable-temperature capsule machines (Opal/Morning Machine) we advise brewing at a medium-temperature setting for optimal cup results.
