The coffee story
Back in 2016 we paid a visit to CATIE's incredible coffee varietal collection, located in Turrialba, close by to Aquiares. Our intention was to locate varietals that could offer us a distinctive cup profile. We selected these the old-fashoned way: chewing on coffee cherries. A tall and robust plant held burgundy-colored cherries, their mucilage tasted like papaya and sweet berries. We planted this Typica in Aquiares' highest elevation plot, nurtured it and for the first time ever, harvested just enough for a micro-lot.
The process
Picked at optimal maturity, cherries are floated, then de-pulped in a traditional chancador, and no mucilage is removed. The first two days of drying happen in the ceramic floor of our solar dryer, then the coffee is moved up to raised beds, and slow-dried fo 12 days. Coffee is stored in parchment inside GrainPro bags for two months before preparation & export.More from this seller
