Savage Coffee’s Parabolic Process is a signature of their experimental edge, combining techniques inspired by winemaking with the unique microclimate of Panama’s Chiriquí highlands. This approach not only amplifies the cherry’s inherent sweetness and complexity but also results in an unmistakable clarity of flavor.

ABOUT PARABOLIC DRYING

At Savage Coffee in Panama, Parabolic Drying is part of a meticulous and innovative post-harvest process used to enhance the flavor complexity of their Geisha coffees. It’s not just about drying—it's a carefully choreographed fermentation and drying technique that blends science, intuition, and a deep respect for terroir.

Here’s how it works:

• Carbonic Maceration: First, ripe Geisha cherries are placed in sealed stainless steel tanks for over 100 hours. CO₂ is introduced to create an anaerobic environment, allowing the cherries to ferment slowly and absorb intense fruit and floral notes.
• Parabolic Drying Houses: After fermentation, the cherries are transferred to multi-tiered, parabolic-shaped drying beds. These structures are designed to optimize airflow, humidity, and temperature. The cherries are gently rotated throughout the day to ensure even drying and prevent unwanted microbial activity.
• Flavor Impact: This extended and controlled drying process—often lasting around 20 days—preserves delicate aromatics and enhances the coffee’s natural sweetness. The result is a cup bursting with vibrant fruit, floral complexity, and a silky mouthfeel.
