咖啡,是來自果實的種子,理應如果汁般鮮活。當越來越多人說「咖啡像果汁」,其實不過是回歸了本質的描述。果實為咖啡豆賦予糖分與風味的基礎,但在烘焙與沖煮成就一杯好咖啡之際,最直觀可食的部分——咖啡果肉,卻往往被忽略、歸於塵土。
我們特別選用來自阿里山的完熟咖啡果實,在「蜜處理」工法中細心取下果肉,再以低溫緩慢烘乾,使其轉化為帶有紅棗、桂圓氣息的成熟甜香,同時保有木質調性的酸韻與單寧般澀感,展現出深具層次的在地風韻。這些果肉,也就是俗稱的 cascara,過去鮮少成為主角,台灣咖啡的精緻工藝,卻使它能獨當一面。
我們將這些珍貴的咖啡果乾與阿里山咖啡豆再次合體,加入屏東可可脂,以低溫緩慢研磨、調溫塑型,最終完成這款「喫的咖啡果實」。相較於僅使用咖啡豆製成的 喫的咖啡 Bar,這款種子與果實的作品更具果香的張力與酸甜層次,彷彿真正品嚐了一杯果汁感滿溢、有骨有肉的咖啡。
是款重新書寫咖啡風味可能性的風土之作。
Coffee, at its core, is the seed of a fruit—vibrant and full of life, much like juice. As more people describe coffee as “fruit juice-like,” they are, in fact, simply returning to its essence. The fruit imparts the sugars and foundational flavors to the coffee bean, yet in the pursuit of a perfect roast and brew, its most immediate and edible part—the coffee cherry flesh—is often discarded, returned to the soil, forgotten.
For this creation, we selected fully ripened coffee cherries from Alishan, gently removing the pulp during honey processing. These are then slowly dried at low temperatures, transforming into cascara rich with notes of dried longan and red date, while retaining a woody acidity and refined tannic structure. Cascara, though known to COFE, has rarely taken center stage—but the meticulous craftsmanship of Taiwanese coffee has allowed it to stand in its own right.
We reunited these precious dried coffee fruits with Alishan coffee beans, and blended them with Pingtung cocoa butter. Through slow, low-temperature grinding and careful tempering, we shaped this unique expression: Edible Coffee Fruit. Compared to our original Edible Coffee Bar made solely with beans, this bar of both seed and fruit brings elevated acidity, layered sweetness, and a full-bodied, juice-like character.
This is not just a new take on coffee—it’s a terroir-driven reinterpretation of its full flavor potential, where fruit and bean converge in a delicious dialogue.
