A Brightly Citrus and Refreshing Cup
Rich complexity with notes of clementine, juicy peach, and smooth brown sugar
La Rochela is a family-owned coffee farm dedicated to the specialty market, producing some of the most intricate, flavorful, and memorable coffees we’ve encountered — including Java, Geisha, Pacamara, and Rubi, among others. In addition to coffee, they grow avocados, bananas, and oranges, all cultivated with an organic approach. Their commitment to sustainability, ethical practices, and empowering female labor has earned them the respected Rainforest Alliance certification.
We’ve had the privilege of collaborating with Daniela Duque, the driving force behind La Rochela, since our earliest days. In 2022, we had the chance to visit the farm, where Daniela welcomed us and guided us through the 100-hectare estate, offering an in-depth look at their thoughtful cultivation methods and ongoing coffee experimentation.
Processing
Taste Profile
This coffee lot offers a bright and vibrant flavour profile, featuring notes of clementine, juicy peach, and smooth brown sugar. The extended 120-hour anaerobic fermentation brings out a rich complexity, while the slow drying process enhances its natural sweetness and smoothness, resulting in a well-rounded cup with layers of citrus, fruit, and subtle sweetness.
