This is a genuine infused coffee. The picked cherries are mixed and rested with a substrate centered around blackberries, strawberries, and molasses derived from sugarcane, which triggers chemical reactions via enzymes, before entering the fermentation process.
Infused coffee now has various forms and is the subject of ongoing research. It's not just about tossing in fruits; the coffee that emerges results from a stack of very specific conditions. The skill and passion poured into it should be lauded, and it’s nonsensical to dismiss it out of hand—that’s my stance.
I've tasted many infused coffees that didn't turn out well. Infused coffee is not easy and might be more challenging than standard processes. Those who focus on it do so because they genuinely want people to enjoy it. They are expanding the possibilities of coffee and having fun themselves. The coffee produced by Clearpath, especially, is incredibly unique; they always manage to surprise and delight me, and I enjoy it alongside them.
It’s perfectly fine to have likes and dislikes. If people can express both positively in a supportive environment, that’s all that matters. Infused coffee actively fosters such an environment, and I’m very happy to use it.
When I first tried this Pink Champagne coffee, it made me incredibly happy, and I hope it brings the same joy to everyone else. The roast is done to boldly highlight the flavors, but perceiving the flavors more clearly is enhanced by a strong sense of sweetness. So, I make it a point to ensure the sweetness comes through robustly. Considering all these factors, it's truly a coffee that makes me very happy.
