Supernatural Flight 2022

The Supernatural process takes the traditional natural processing methods and varies up the drying stage in order to explore a bolder cup profile. Supernaturals tend to be super sweet, fruit-driven with low bitter or tannic aftertastes. They are bold, flavourful and adventurous. These characteristics are due to various drying techniques, including thick stack drying, covering the cherries in plastic wraps over night, and shade drying. Project Origin are proud to present this first Supernaturals Flight, where you can explore the results of Supernatural processing and its effects on coffee around the world.

The Origins

咖啡

 

清洗站: Maguta Estate, Kenya

过程: 超极日晒

品种: Ruiru / SL 28 Peaberry

高度: 1650 – 1800 米

 

This lot is made of the peaberries from our MG4 lot, which was processed in an airtight environment for an extended period at a cool temperature. This slowed down fermentation to create a funky and fruity supernatural coffee experience. Drying was done on raised beds and cherries were regularly cocooned to maintain temperature during the first week of drying, and were then spread thin for the remaining twenty days of drying. Peaberries are separated during the dry milling process and typically show the fruit qualities of the original lot but also enhanced vibrancy and acidity.

 

 

 

清洗站: Konga, Ethiopia

过程: 超极日晒

品种: Heirloom

高度: 1800 – 2100 m

 

Heirloom cherries from the Konga region were hand sorted and sealed airtight in GrainPro bags for an extended time at a cool temperature. This coffee has been named Habhab, as that in the Amharic language translates to Watermelon. This coffee has wonderful flavours of watermelon and cherry and it’s so refreshing that it feels like a summer drink. It was processed by our partners in the Konga Wete station and it was one of their many successful intentionally crafted coffees this season.

 

 

清洗站: Uraga, Ethiopia

过程: 超极日晒

品种: Heirloom

高度: 1950 – 2300 m

 

Uraga region in Ethiopia has been building a name for themselves in the coffee world for the last few years. This region has so much to offer and our Supernatural Scarlet is one of the most impressive examples we created this year. This coffee was processed in an airtight environment for extended time. Its name: Scarlet is a representation of the colour of flavour profile. Uraga Gargari station produced more than 10 tonnes of intentionally crafted coffees with us in 2022, a true testament of their consistency and attention to detail.

 

 

清洗站: Konga, Ethiopia

过程: 超极日晒

品种: Heirloom

高度: 1800 – 2100 m

 

Hamerawe means purple in Amheric, and at the Konga Wete washing station, it’s not new to create these intense flavour profiles. On this lot we have dark grapes and blackcurrants as well as tropical and citric notes. This lot was created in an airtight environment for a very extended period of time. So in comparison with Habhab, which is also created by the same station, you get to see the effect of prolonged fermentation at a cool temperature.

 

清洗站: Konga, Ethiopia

过程: 超极日晒

品种: Heirloom

高度: 1800 – 2100 m

This profile is one of the most elegant, but it’s also one of the most popular cup profiles to enjoy! Koki means Peach in Amheric and has this name because of its stone fruit and tropical flavour profile. This lot was processed in GrainPro bags for a moderate length of time. Just enough to boost flavours whilst maintaining clarity and elegance.

 

 

Farm: El Avión, Nicaragua

过程: 超极日晒

品种: Catuai / Catimor

高度: 1500 – 1750 m

At Project Origin, we have been exploring coffees from Mario Gonzalez for a couple of years. His attention to detail and pursuit for excellence its what inspires our partners, Bridazul, to continuously work with him. In 2022, his farm El Avión won the #1 place in COE allowing the global community to also appreciate the value this collaboration has created. This Supernatural lot was created in airtight containers and anaerobically fermented for a moderate amount of time. The high sugar content of the perfectly ripe cherries allowed for an intense flavour to form. This catuai and catimor blend is definitely a head-turner at the cupping table.

 

Farm: Los Suyates, Nicaragua

过程: 超极日晒

品种: Catuai / Catimor

高度: 1450 – 1700 m

Another incredible lot from Mario Gonzalez from his farm Los Suyates which sits at a lower altitude, resulting in varying drying abilities to enhance different flavour characteristics. This lot was fermented in airtight containers for an extended period of time to deepen the bolder, darker flavours in the cup.

Farm: Los Pirineos, El Salvador

过程: 超极日晒

品种: Bourbon

高度: 1300- 1600 m

 

After careful hand sorting, these bourbon cherries were placed in GrainPro bags and sealed airtight, then left in an ambient environment for a short time. As fermentation began and C02 was released, an anaerobic environment was created inside the bags that developed red and darker fruit qualities. These qualities are complimented by maintaining lighter fruit flavours from keeping that fermentation time short. After fermentation in bags the cherries were spread thin on raised drying beds and dried over 25 days, delivering an overall round and sweet supernatural lot.

 

 

Farm: Los Pirineos, El Salvador

过程: 超极日晒

品种: 帕卡马拉

高度: 1300- 1600 m

 

This supernatural lot has an array of yellow, orange and red fruit flavours developed by long fermentation whilst sealed airtight in GrainPro bags. After fermentation, these pacamara cherries were first dried under full sun, spread thin to balance moisture evenly across all the cherries and maintain high notes like lemonade and pineapple as well as florals. Then the coffee was moved under shade to finish drying slowly and keep sweetness high.

 

 

Farm: Los Pirineos, El Salvador

过程: 超极日晒

品种: Bourbon

高度: 1300- 1600 m

 

Bourbon cherries were hand sorted and sealed airtight in GrainPro bags for an extended time at an ambient temperature. As fermentation began and C02 was released, an anaerobic environment was created inside the bags, which developed dark and orange fruit qualities. The total fermentation time was extended to boost body and sweetness. After fermentation, the cherries were dried slowly under shade to keep sweetness high and create toffee and chocolate notes.
