ABOUT THE COFFEE

This lot features the Villa Sarchi variety, originally discovered in Costa Rica and admired for its resilience to strong winds. It undergoes a unique natural processing method: the cherries are first dried on beds in a garden setting for a week, where cooler conditions allow for slower fermentation. Next, they are placed in a low-oxygen environment, also known as anaerobic fermentation. Finally, the cherries are carefully dried in mechanical dryers until they reach the ideal 10% moisture level, ensuring a clean and complex flavour profile.
