Description
Tasting Notes: Sweet, balanced, and clean. Notes of lemonade, tropical fruit, florals, & Cocoa powder. Rich body & creamy texture.
Proccess: Anaerobic Red Honey
- Anaerobic red cherry - cherries are first fermented in grainpro bags for seven hours, then transferred to fermentation barrels, where they're anaerobically fermented for twelve hours. Then partially depulped and allowed to dry on raised African beds.
This comes directly to us from De La Finca’s family farms, Finca La Esmeralda. This Anaerobic Red Honey lot was hand selected from their Caturra and Typica harvest specifically for honey processing in order to offer a balanced cup between the intensity of natural and the smooth cleanliness of fully washed. With the lighter touch of the “Anaerobic” method this coffee produces a super clean yet full bodied and creamy brew. There is also a boost of juicy tropical fruit sweetness.
La Esmeralda is a new DLF Project Farm in the Comayagua region. We bought this farm in 2021 in order to continue experimental processing in the area. La Sampedrama is an under-promoted area in the Comayagua region with high altitude, volcanic soil, and is rich in culture. We wanted a farm in the area where we could have more control over the quality and consistency on larger experimental specialty lots including varietals like geisha, pink bourbon, parainema which we've planted and will be coming in the next few years
