Hello! Welcome to Parchmen & Co! Stay connected with us and travel with us to savour our world in a cup!
Jairo Arcila is getting famous for making fruit maceration coffees in his Santa Monica and Finca Villarazo. Since we started featuring his coffees in 2021, we have carried strawberry, mandarin, orange, passion fruit, cinnamon, lychee, and now banana. The technique for fruit maceration differ from cinnamon maceration. Banana maceration is similar to strawberry maceration. We roast and brew similarly for such coffees.
The results are an outstanding and exotic banana note with a complex array of other notes. It reminds us of Tokyo Banana!
We wrote a blog post on this coffee in 2022. In June 2024, we wrote another blog post to reflect on evolving trends which include maceration coffees.
