“I enjoyed doing this coffee because it was not only easy, it also saved me working steps and water. I let the cherries ferment for 96 hours, then I dried it in silos and after that in drying beds for a total of 204 hours”, says Andrés excited when we ask him about this coffee. Its flavor is a result of a new knowledge and taking the risk of experimentation. Get ready to love this coffee with notes of Red Wine, Strawberry Hard Candy and Dark Chocolate.
