In Colombia, green coffee beans are considered specialty if it scores above 80 points, has zero primary defects, and has no more than five secondary defects in a 500g sample.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Excelso classification signifies that the green coffee has a screen size of 14. That means the beans have passed through a sifter with holes that are 14\/64 inch wide. Larger-sized beans are often correlated with higher quality, although screen size is not the only indicator of coffee quality.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnother classification for coffee quality is European Process (EP). This indicates that there are no more than four defects per 1,000 coffee beans and is part of the sorting process that the coffee goes through before it’s packed and shipped.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Farm:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis coffee is named for the Tiple instrument, which is used in traditional Colombian music. El Tiple is Genuine Origin’s way of making crowd-pleasing Colombia green coffee more accessible to roasters as a blend that explores Colombia’s distinctive micro-climates and flavor profiles. All the coffees were sourced from small, family-owned farms ranging in altitudes from 1,500-1,800masl.\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Process: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor AMCOS groups, cherries are delivered the same day to a Coffee Processing Unit (CPU), where they are inspected, sorted, and pulped immediately. The pulped coffee is fermented in tanks for up to 72 hours, depending on temperature and condition. After fermentation, the coffee is washed with clean water and dried on raised beds for up to 14 days.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor home processing, farmers use hand pulpers to depulp cherries on the farm. The coffee then ferments for up to 72 hours, is washed, and dried on raised beds for 10-14 days before being delivered to AMCOS collection centers. All parchment is ultimately transported to a dry mill for storage, grading, and preparation for export.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFor larger quantities please contact us.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fredericksburg Coffee Company","offers":[{"title":"12oz Whole Bean","offer_id":54014731288876,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12oz Ground","offer_id":54014731321644,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 LB Whole Bean","offer_id":54014731354412,"sku":null,"price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/9220\/5100\/files\/Columbia.jpg?v=1789316293","url":"https:\/\/fredericksburgcoffeeco.com\/products\/columbia-huila-pitalito-el-tiple-excelso-medium-dark-roast","provider":"Fredericksburg Coffee Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
