HATCH - TNT Lab Flower Machine

Tasting notes: Honeysuckle, Yuzu, Apricot, Oolong

Marcel & Iris Miranda own and run Bambito Verde Farm. This region, nestled near the Volcán Barú, is world-famous for its rich volcanic soils and unique microclimates that are ideal for producing Geisha coffees. The farm itself sits at a high altitude of 1850 meters above sea level where the cooler temperatures cause the coffee cherries to mature more slowly. This allows for a greater concentration of complex sugars and acids within the bean, resulting in a raw product with exceptional potential.

This Geisha lot first undergoes a 2-day natural fermentation before being depulped for a washed fermentation, all maintained at 16°C. It is then dried for 15 days in a 21°C cold room, followed by 5 days in a warm greenhouse. This precise technique yields elegant notes of honeysuckle, yuzu, apricot, and oolong.

TNT Lab’s founders, Adrián Villarreal and Alfonso Cheung, work with producers on small Geisha lots. Flower Machine is the washed cold-fermentation expression of coffee from Bambito Verde, distinct from the honey-processed Guarapo released alongside it.
