PROCESS

Supernatural
Supernatural is Project Origin’s take on an elevated natural process.

The coffee is dried with the fruit still intact, but with additional fermentation and drying techniques designed to build extra sweetness, fruit intensity, and complexity in the cup. The result is a vibrant, fruit-forward coffee with bold character, syrupy sweetness, and a more expressive profile than a traditional natural.

This lot is made from ripe red cherries, picked at 20–22° Brix by smallholder farmers in the local area. After hand-sorting to remove underripe and overripe cherries, the fruit is delivered to the El Arbol processing mill and combined to create the Bridazul lot. For processing, the whole cherries are first placed on raised beds and covered with plastic for 3 days to encourage fermentation and increase flavour intensity. They are then spread thin and dried under shade in a more traditional natural style to enhance mouthfeel and sticky sweetness.

Drying typically takes around 25 days, with the coffee dried down to 10–12% moisture before being stored in dried cherry pods until milling for export.

ROASTERS RECOMMENDATION

For the best results when using a darker roast for alternative brewing methods, we recommend a few simple adjustments:

  • Use slightly less water
  • Add a little more coffee
  • Grind a touch coarser
  • Lower your water temperature

These small changes can help bring out better balance, sweetness and clarity in the cup.
