This roast brings a wonderful smoothness and balance to the cup. A coffee that suits every time of day and every situation!
As in the previous year, we chose again a F1 Centroamericano from Aquiares this year. But this time we chose a different processing method (red honey) - because when it came to cupping, this one was the one that most clearly brought out what we like so much about this coffee.
About the processing:
The cherries are depulped, but the pulp is not removed - this is the key of the honey process (otherwise it would be washed). In this state, the cherries are pre-dried for two days and then applied to raised beds at an ambient temperature of 28-40 °C for eight days.
About Aquiares:
The farm was founded in 1890 and is located on the Turrialba volcano between the Aquiares and Turrialba rivers. The work of Diego Robelo's team covers the entire production chain, from growing the seedlings to picking the cherries and processing them. He has also been responsible for developing the diversity of coffee varieties in the orchards - and with great success, as this coffee proves (Centroamericano is a hybrid of Sarchimor and Rume Sudan).
