The Echo Process:

Echo is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship. The journey begins with the harvest of perfectly ripe Gesha cherries, carefully selected to achieve a BRIX reading of 21-24. After a second selection, the cherries are pulped, leaving a precise amount of fruit on the bean. To elevate the complexity, cascara (the coffee cherry skin) is infused into the freshly pulped coffee, adding depth and a fruit-forward character.

The pulped cherries are then placed in stainless-steel tanks where carbon dioxide is injected to slow the dissolution of sugars, enhancing the acidity and fruitiness of the coffee. This carbonic maceration process, pioneered by Jamison Savage, is closely monitored—pH, temperature, and CO2 levels are meticulously tracked to ensure consistency and quality. After 50 hours, the coffee is rinsed, sorted, and dried on shaded African beds, resulting in a coffee that is both full-bodied and rich in flavor.
