Lychee Washed Castillo – Wine Yeast Fermented | Jairo Arcila x Good Brothers Coffee

Lychee. Exotic Fruits. Vivid. Playful. Polished.

This coffee hits fast and bright. The wet aroma pops with crisp lychee, lime, green apple, and a delicate floral perfume. Brewed hot, it swings into expressive fruit-candy sweetness — red bubblegum meets rose with a potent splash of red raspberry and a wild, fizzy finish of citrus and florals. As it cools, the intensity mellows into juicy red fruits and lychee fruit snack notes. Vivid and playful — and still polished.

⏳ Resting: Drinkable 18 hours off roast. Peaks beautifully at days 10–15. 1–2 weeks for drip; ~2 weeks for espresso. Espresso: 2:1 ratio, 20–25 seconds.
