The Little Details
This coffee comes from El Retiro del Quisaya farm in Chimaltenango region, San Martin Jilotepeque town in Guatemala. They're grown 1800 metres above sea level and are fully washed and dried on Guatemalan patios. These coffee beans are 100% Pache.
About the Process
During the harvest, the cherries are carefully handpicked and delivered to the mill located on the farm. After sorting, the cherries are pulped with an eco-pulper to remove the external fruit and fermented in aerobic tanks for 14 hours. The beans are then washed and put through a centrifuge machine to remove any remaining mucilage. They are then dispersed on patios to dry in the open sun for ten days.
