The Opus, Exotic & Complex

Another nod to the Scandinavian style of roasting, the Opus is expertly light. Usually floral forward, you can expect a delicate and brighter cup. Mostly staying with washed coffees, our roasting process looks to show off clarity of flavours.

The Opus right now & origin details

Part of Monkaaba, a group that fosters local producer knowledge and prolific specialty market prices, Augusto has a specific process for this pink borbon. Picked every 15 days at peak ripeness. Fermented in cherry overnight before being depulped, then a dry ferment for 32 hours. Seeds rinsed of remaining mucilage then onto raised, shaded beds for 20-22 days to dry.
