This coffee is a mix of caturra and catuai varieties, which were picked, washed and floated before being macerated in the cherry for 16 hours.
After the maceration period the cherries were pulped and fermented in sealed grainpro bags for 2 days under shade. The coffee was then dried under shade for 15 days.
This is another delicious coffee form Elvis Tineo and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
