More on Barrel Aged coffee:
For the past few months, our Roasting Team has been experimenting with aging green coffee beans in used wine barrels. Why would we do that, you ask?
Well, basically, coffee is porous and absorbs odors and moisture, even when green. The logic goes, why not use this perceived weakness of coffee as a strength, and let it soak in flavors that might help enhance rather than hurt the overall flavor profile?
So, we’ve taken some green Burundi Mpenga and aged it in a used Cabernet barrel for 2 months and the results have been pretty interesting, and, delicious even. You’re bound to hear more about this process from within the coffee industry soon, so we thought we’d engage with the public and share our experiences that we’ve had with the coffee so far.
