The Little Details
This coffee comes from Mercedes farm, Antioquia region, San Bernardo de los Farallones de Citara, ciudad Bolivar in Colombia. It's grown 1800 to 2100 meters above sea level. It is fully washed and dried on raised beds. It is drawn from Caturra and Colombia varietal coffee beans.
About the Process
All coffee at Las Mercedes is selectively hand harvested before being delivered to the farm’s state-of-the-art mill to be pulped on the same day. After pulping the coffee is fermented twice. The first fermentation is anaerobic, occurring at cool temperatures for 25 hours. Afterwards, the coffee is fermented aerobically for an additional 25 hours, then washed and graded via the canal. Next, the beans are delivered to dry on raised beds in the open sun, where they are regularly turned until they reach optimal humidity.
