This coffee is amazing. It has consistent notes of lime, lemongrass, and floral, while maintaining a smooth and lactic body. The process starts at Sebastian Ramirez's farms, where the Caturra beans are handpicked and selected. The cherries are then sealed in a container filled with CO2 and undergo Carbonic Maceration for 100 hours while controlling pH and temperature. Next, the cherries are depulped and sealed again with a culturing of hops called Mosto, for another 100 hours. After these steps, the coffee is dried in Elbas (open patios) for up to 30 days and then stabilized for an additional 15 days. We are incredibly excited about this coffee, and if you try it, you will understand why.
