{"title":"Exotic Coffee Collection","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes a coffee exotic?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExotic coffee is about what happens to the bean after harvest, not just where it grew. Producers ferment the cherries in ways borrowed from winemaking, and the bean comes out tasting like tropical fruit, red wine, or candy with nothing added. Every coffee here is single-origin, infused with broad-spectrum CBD, and processed with one of the experimental methods below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCoffee processing methods, explained\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAnaerobic fermentation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cherries ferment in sealed tanks with the oxygen removed. Different microbes take over in that environment and build intense, fruit-forward, slightly boozy flavors you cannot get any other way. It is the method behind our Vietnam Black Lotus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNatural (dry) process\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole cherry dries in the sun with the fruit left on the bean. The bean soaks up sugar from the drying fruit, which gives you heavy berry and chocolate notes. Our Ethiopia Geisha is processed this way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHoney process\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorkers strip the skin but leave the sticky inner layer, called mucilage or honey, on the bean while it dries. The result sits between washed and natural: syrupy and sweet, with clean acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWashed (wet) process\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit comes off completely before drying, so nothing covers up the bean itself. Washed coffees taste bright and clean. Our Nitro Washed Colombia starts here and adds a nitrogen-charged ferment on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCarbonic maceration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cherries ferment under carbon dioxide, the same trick that makes Beaujolais wine. You get a wild, juicy cup that can taste almost like a cocktail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLactic fermentation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA slow, controlled ferment that favors the same bacteria family behind yogurt. It rounds the cup out with a creamy body and deep sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy we make exotic coffee\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe buy single-origin lots small enough that one farm's experiment fills the whole batch. Then we infuse each one with broad-spectrum CBD from USDA organic hemp, winterized with CO2 and lab tested at zero detectable THC. You get a rare cup and a calmer morning out of the same bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is exotic coffee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExotic coffee is coffee made with experimental fermentation methods such as anaerobic, carbonic maceration, honey, or lactic. These methods create fruit, wine, and candy flavors that standard washed or natural coffee does not produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs anaerobic coffee better than washed coffee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeither is better. They taste different. Anaerobic coffee runs bold and fruity. Washed coffee runs clean and bright. Pick the one you like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes exotic coffee have more caffeine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Processing changes the flavor, not the caffeine. Caffeine comes from the bean variety and how you brew it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these coffees infused with CBD?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Every coffee in this collection carries broad-spectrum CBD from organic hemp, with no detectable THC, third-party lab tested.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"nitro-washed-colombia-coffee-bean","title":"Nitro Washed Colombia CBD Coffee Beans - Very Limited Release","description":"\u003cp\u003eNitro Washed Colombia CBD Coffee is crafted for drinkers who want a clean, bright, classically structured cup elevated by the benefits of CBD.
