At the start of Pack’s roasting journey, the very first coffee he ever roasted was from none other than Diego Bermúdez—a red plum coffee that tasted remarkably like strawberry yogurt. This was back in 2021, when Pack was just learning to roast using the Ikawa under the guidance of Morten Münchow. The first assignment Morten gave him was to source a Gesha from Colombia, and that’s when Pack discovered El Paraíso, Diego’s farm. That moment marked a turning point—Pack’s first encounter with thermal shock processing and the beginning of a deep admiration for Diego's work.
Diego Bermúdez is a trailblazing Colombian coffee producer who began his journey in 2008 by transforming his family’s unused land in Piendamó, Cauca, into what is now the renowned Finca El Paraíso. A true innovator, Diego was among the first to bring thermal shock processing to the competitive stage. In 2015, his coffee won first place in a regional competition, earning him well-deserved recognition in the specialty coffee world.
The coffee you’ll be experiencing today is a semi-washed coffee with a special fermentation process developed by Diego Bermúdez. It begins with ozone treatment to disinfect the cherries, followed by a 36-hour anaerobic fermentation. After that, the coffee is pulped and demucilaginated, then specific microorganisms are added for a second fermentation under pressure for another 20 hours. The process ends with a thermal shock to preserve the floral aromatics—reminding me of rose tea—and finishes with immediate drying on raised beds.
