Produced by Edilberto and his son Johan at Finca Las Flores. For this microlot, cherries were strictly picked with the same level of ripeness. They were exposed to a dry anaerobic fermentation for 60 hours. The beans were then pulped and left to ferment without water for an additional 75 hours. They were then shadow-dried in parabolic beads to the ideal moisture content.

This microlot is 100% Catyurra. This varietal originated in Minas Gerais, Brazil. It is a natural mutation of the Red Bourbon. Caturra produces more coffee and it is more resistant to disease than Bourbon.
