About this Specialty Coffee
CCD is a forward-looking Specialty Coffee producer at the Chiriqui province in Boquete, Panama. By transforming a traditional wet mill and drying patio into a modern state of the art processing facility, CCD integrates art and specialty coffee in unique and authentic space where artists are promoted and celebrated to inspire industry participants around the globe to support and demand new coffee production standards that guarantee higher incomes for growers and sustainable ecological practices for processing stations worldwide.
Dynamic Cherry was lay the coffee onto the patio in thin layers (5cm) for two days before beginning the fermentation process in plastic bags. The average temperature of patio is 32° Celsius and it serves to reduce moisture levels to such an extent that water is not available to promote bacterioligical reactions, but enough to aid enzymatic reactions within the structure of the bean. In doing so, it minimize the risk of fungal developments on the cherry in the first crucial few days. The embryo continues to transform the sugars in the endosperm into less complex sugars, and thus the coffee remains "alive" for much longer. this can extend the process considerably, the longest batch of the harvest this year was three weeks.
