{"product_id":"condor-ridge-ranch-dark-roast","title":"CONDOR RIDGE RANCH - SINGLE-FARM DARK ROAST","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt's unusual that we find a lot that performs better as a dark roast than as a light roast, but this unique offering from Condor Ridge Ranch offers exactly that. The coffee for this lot is a field blend comprised of cherries picked from trees on a block at Condor Ridge Ranch planted with a multi-varietal mix that includes FRINJ regulars like Bourbon, Caturra, and Catuai Rojo alongside less commonly seen types like Typica and Puerto Rico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this cup so compelling as a dark roast is the distinct dried fruit note that carries through despite the degree of roast. It elevates the cup and makes for a unique experience, offering a different take on dark roast than our California Dark Roast. That fruit note is especially reminiscent of dried cherries, but also has a complexity that suggests dried plum, strawberry fruit leather, and dates. This fruity top note is rounder, with lower acidity than you'll find in our California Dark Roast, which makes it a nice pairing with milk, an unusual thing for fruity coffees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular lot was handpicked at peak ripeness, floated to remove defect, pulped, and then inoculated with a \u003ci\u003eSaccharomyces cerevisiae\u003c\/i\u003e, a specific cultivated yeast strain. We then placed this coffee in a temperature controlled chamber to cold ferment for 96 hours semi-anaerobically. It was then washed and laid to dry on raised beds to a stable moisture below 12%.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FRINJ COFFEE","offers":[{"title":"3.5 oz","offer_id":50240684196088,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/9325\/0808\/files\/CRR-DARK-WI-OPTIM.jpg?v=1787769034","url":"https:\/\/frinjcoffee.com\/products\/condor-ridge-ranch-dark-roast","provider":"FRINJ COFFEE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
