Description

FRUITY, STICKY SWEET, COMPLEX. 

Producer: El Naranjo Farm
Location: Aponte, Nariño
Elevation: 2050 meters
Variety: Caturra, Colombia
Process: Honey

This single producer micro lot comes to us from Nixon Adarme’s 2-hectare farm, Finca El Naranjo, out of the Aponte region in Narino, Colombia. Located at a whopping 2050 meters above sea level, his farm is home to rich volcanic soils and a consistent Andean climate, meaning he has a distinct harvest season compared to the other southern states which can pick year-round.

For this specific lot, the coffee cherries were picked at peak ripeness, then placed in sealed barrels for two days – this acts as a sudo fermentation process. The cherries are then de-pulped and fermented for another 24 hours before being taken straight to raised beds in a covered dryer. The drying process takes about 20 days to complete. This honey-processed coffee can be classified as an experimental honey process as not all coffee goes through that sealed fermentation stage. Adding in this step brings out complexity and sweetness.
