Bright orange aromatics, juicy blueberry sweetness, and a smooth butterscotch finish.
This coffee from Finca España captures the quiet confidence of experienced production rather than deliberate experimentation. Sourced from the highlands of Apaneca and produced by third-generation farmer Nora Lemus De Díaz Nuila, it showcases how thoughtful anaerobic processing can amplify clarity, sweetness, and structure without overpowering the coffee’s natural character.
Processing
This lot is produced using an anaerobic natural process, where whole coffee cherries are sealed in fermentation tanks without oxygen. During fermentation, controlled microbial activity transforms sugars and organic acids within the cherry, enhancing aromatic intensity and fruit definition. After fermentation, the cherries are dried intact, allowing gradual sugar migration from the fruit into the seed. This approach results in heightened sweetness, rounded acidity, and a cohesive, polished cup profile.
Taste Profile
The aroma is expressive and clean, led by fresh citrus tones reminiscent of orange peel. On the palate, the coffee delivers a juicy, fruit-driven sweetness with blueberry-like character, supported by a gentle, balanced acidity. As the cup cools, a smooth butterscotch-like richness emerges, lending depth and softness to the overall structure. The body is rounded and silky, with a lingering finish that remains sweet and composed.
