The \u003cstrong\u003eKenyan component\u003c\/strong\u003e brings \u003cstrong\u003estructure\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003ebright, juicy acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the \u003cstrong\u003eColombian co-ferment\u003c\/strong\u003e adds \u003cstrong\u003eintense notes of passionfruit, orange zest\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a \u003cstrong\u003esweet, tropical character\u003c\/strong\u003e that makes the coffee \u003cstrong\u003edistinctive and memorable\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base of the blend is \u003cstrong\u003eKenya\u003c\/strong\u003e, processed using the \u003cstrong\u003etraditional washed method\u003c\/strong\u003e with an emphasis on clarity and pronounced acidity. Manual harvesting of ripe cherries, fermentation in water, and drying on raised African beds give the cup structure, freshness, and the juiciness characteristic of Kenya.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eColombian Bourbon Rosado\u003c\/strong\u003e undergoes an \u003cstrong\u003eexperimental co-fermentation with orange and passionfruit\u003c\/strong\u003e, which builds an intense, modern flavor profile. After harvesting, the fruits are disinfected with hot water, then pulped and transferred to sealed tanks, where anaerobic fermentation takes place. A \u003cstrong\u003e48-hour pre-fermented orange and passionfruit puree\u003c\/strong\u003e and selected strains of \u003cstrong\u003eSaccharomyces cerevisiae yeast\u003c\/strong\u003e, isolated directly from coffee, are added to the process. Fermentation lasts 3-4 days and is precisely controlled (e.g., by pH monitoring) to achieve an ideal balance between fruit intensity and profile cleanliness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coffee is then sun-dried for about 8 days until it reaches optimal moisture content, ensuring stability and high storage quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e250g coffee beans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quickborn","offers":[{"title":"200g","offer_id":52867192389968,"sku":"QKBN-MIX-AAAFR-200G","price":93.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":false},{"title":"Sample - 18g","offer_id":52867192422736,"sku":"QKBN-MIX-AAAFR-18G","price":17.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0859\/2277\/5376\/files\/almost-african-700x700.jpg?v=1776272886","url":"https:\/\/coffeemates.pl\/en\/products\/almost-african-blend-washed-cofermented","provider":"Coffee Mates","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
