ETHIOPIA | Masina CMW Jasper
■ FLAVOR COMMENT
This drink offers a luxurious and complex flavor profile, like tasting a variety of tropical fruits such as guava, passion fruit, and mango all at once. When served hot, it features a fresher and more exotic flavor, while as it cools, a softer character emerges, revealing the sweetness of ripe fruit and a rich, chocolatey mouthfeel.
The aroma and flavor evolve beautifully throughout the entire glass, resulting in a truly delightful experience. Please enjoy the harmony created by the fermentation process and the terroir of Ethiopia.
■ FLAVOR NOTE
Guava, Passion Fruits, Raspberry, Chocolate 
■ INFORMATION
At the 2015 World Barista Championship held in Seattle, Project Origin founder Saša Šestić first introduced the Carbonic Mercerization Process (CM) to the specialty coffee industry.
CM Selection is a selection of the finest carbonic maceration coffees produced by Project Origin each year. Our carbonic maceration coffees are produced on various farms around the world. Project Origin has researched and developed various CM technologies in different countries.
Project Origin is located in the Masina district of Adola, the heart of Ethiopia, which has a washing station. This station was established in 2017 as a joint project with local export partner Primrose.
The Guji Masina Washing Station is the first place in Ethiopia where the carbonic mercerization process was produced, and it is a place from which we have learned a great deal in expanding CM Selection in Ethiopia. Project Origin is working with "Primrose" to build bridges connecting the region and providing funding to contribute to the infrastructure of the people who live there.
CM Selection is categorized by five gemstone colors. Each of these gemstones represents a color spectrum that reflects the most prominent flavors and profiles experienced in coffee. They are categorized as "Indigo," "Jasper," "Amber," "Diamond," and "Opal."
■Refining Method for Masina Carbonic Maceration Natural Jasper■
Anaerobic fermentation : Fermentation takes place in a tank without oxygen, while controlling the activity of yeast and bacteria.
• Control of sugar breakdown : By eliminating oxygen, the process of sugar breakdown from the mucilage is regulated.
• Temperature control : By controlling the tank temperature, you can adjust whether to ferment at a low temperature (4-8 degrees Celsius) to characterize the acidity, or at a high temperature (18-22 degrees Celsius) to bring out the sweetness.
• Improved flavor : This method allows you to suppress unpleasant acidity and astringency while bringing out complex, fruity flavors.
