About this coffee

Melonia carries the number 15 and closes the collection. Pink Bourbon from DARU Farm is honey processed and treated with a co-fermented must; the producer’s designation for this is “Co-fermented Must”. Its catalogue code is S01.

The name gives away the direction: watermelon and melon, carried by caramel and walnut. A bright acidity, a silky body and a lingering aftertaste give the fruity profile structure. The catalogue does not state harvest year, quantity or price; we clarify these with your enquiry.

More about the producer

Processing

The designation in the catalogue and what the method means in general.

producer’s designation
Honey, Co-fermented Must
Honey
After pulping, part of the mucilage stays on the parchment and dries with it. The sticky, sugary mucilage stays partly or largely on the seed and dries with it. Honey is the name of the method and does not mean that bee honey is added.
Co-fermented Must
Fermentation together with a must of further ingredients, by the method’s name. The catalogue does not list the ingredients. Co-fermentation can mean shared substrates or cultures. The catalogue does not say what is fermented alongside. Watermelon and melon notes do not show that these fruits are added.
