Andrés wanted to surprise us, and he certainly succeeded. Using the resources from his farm, he developed an innovative process that incorporates eucalyptus during fermentation. This coffee is depulped and later ermented in tanks with Eucalyptus and coffee juice from his natural processes for 4 days, followed by a washing step. The result is a cup with caramelized and herbal notes that culminate in a prolonged and pleasant aftertaste.
