  Kaleido by Diego Bermudez: An Exceptional Collaboration

  At 94 Celcius, we're extremely proud and excited to be collaborating for the first time with the renowned Diego Bermudez, one of the pioneers of the revolutionary thermal shock process. This innovative technique has redefined the standards of aroma fixation in coffee, and we're honored to share with you the fruit of his labor: Kaleido coffee.

  A Unique Tropical Profile

  Kaleido is a vibrant, bold coffee with pronounced tropical flavors. Its profile is characterized by pronounced sweetness and exceptional juiciness, with dominant notes of banana and papaya, followed by a lingering, delicate finish of honeydew melon. Each cup is a veritable explosion of flavors, transporting you to an unforgettably exotic world.

  The history of Finca El Paraíso

  Finca El Paraíso, run by Diego Bermudez, is a model of excellence and innovation in the coffee industry. From its inception, the farm has been dedicated to research and development, aiming to push back the boundaries of quality and consistency in specialty coffee production.

  A Revolutionary Process

  The farm has designed bespoke equipment to control fermentation and drying with laboratory precision. The thermal shock process, developed by Diego Bermudez and Wilton Benitez (a very hot topic, as to who really created this process), has now been adopted by producers all over the world. This process fixes and amplifies coffee's natural aromas, giving incomparable results in the cup.

  Community involvement

  Finca El Paraíso goes beyond coffee production. With a holistic and inclusive approach, the farm works with over 1,600 producer families. Using innovative tools and techniques, it improves not only coffee quality, but also the living conditions and financial stability of the families involved.

  The Process Behind Kaleido

  Every stage in the production of Kaleido is meticulously designed to guarantee exceptional quality and aromatic complexity:

  1. Cherry harvest: Cherries are picked at optimum ripeness.
  2. Ozone disinfection: Cherries are cleaned with ozone to ensure impeccable cleanliness.
  3. Anaerobic fermentation: Cherries ferment for 72 hours in specially designed tanks.
  4. Pulping and degumming: Pulp and mucilage are extracted and used to produce process-specific micro-organisms.
  5. Introduction of micro-organisms: These cultures, rich in aroma and flavor precursors, are added to the tanks for a 36-hour pressurized fermentation.
  6. Thermal shock process: This treatment consolidates aromatic richness while guaranteeing optimal drying conditions.
