A Fruit Bomb with a Creamy Twist: Las Nubes Lactic Fermentation
Straight from the Valle de Dota in the heart of Costa Rica's Tarrazรบ region, the Las Nubes [Lactic Fermentation] is an experimental masterpiece. This isn't just a coffee; it's what the team at People Possession calls a "wowland" experienceโintense, layered, and radically different from your average cup.
With a vibrant profile of Strawberry, Pineapple, and Juicy Dates, this coffee is defined by its unique "lactic" characterโa silky, yogurt-like mouthfeel that perfectly balances its tropical acidity.
The Lactic Natural Process:
Producer Roberto Mata is a pioneer of the Lactic Natural method. This process involves a controlled fermentation in an oxygen-limited environment where lactic acid bacteria thrive. These bacteria convert sugars into lactic acid, resulting in a cup with enhanced body, sweetness, and a signature creamy texture that reminds us of strawberry yogurt or fruit-infused cream.
