NP Criolic Folio™ Yellow Geisha
Region: Volcán Barú
CRIOLIC™ COFFEE
The opposite of Thermolic™, the Criolic™ method employs low temperatures to decelerate the decomposition of sugars in the coffee mucilage. To do so, we submerge freshly picked coffee cherries in the chilly waters of the rivers that wind through the Ninety Plus estates, exposing the coffee to extremely cold temperatures. Other parts of the coffee plant (e.g., leaf, flower, etc.) are also introduced during this process to provide more depth and complexity.
Criolic Folio™ coffees are generally refreshing and elegant with a light to medium body, and often exhibit vibrant, citrusy, and floral characteristics.
THE STORY BEHIND
Ninety Plus, a coffee producer since 2006, revolutionized coffee farming and marketing. Founded by Joseph Brodsky, it originated in Ethiopia, where its initial coffees impressed judges and sparked industry changes. In 2007, Ninety Plus introduced its “natural process” coffees to Panama, transforming specialty coffee processing in the Americas.
Today, Ninety Plus manages over 1,000 hectares in Panama’s western highlands, earning top honors worldwide and contributing to 5 out of 6 World Brewers Cup Championships. It evolves each season, advancing its vision for future coffee flavors and farms while enhancing its global brand experience.
Inspired by Ethiopia’s diverse coffee varieties, Ninety Plus started developing coffee estate farms in Panama in 2009, promoting reforestation and biodiversity.
