Brief introduction:

─ Finka, a century-old manor in Colombia. San Jose (Finca San Jose Estate) has been refined in recent years.

In the prevailing trend of coffee tasting, I have been actively trying to find a breakthrough for myself to take a different path.

Finka. Monsalve Botero, the hostess of San Jose Manor, has a woman who specializes in rum oak barrels.

The husband who made and brewed rum, one day she had a whim that if she put the raw coffee beans in an oak barrel.

Fermentation, whether there will be a more different flavor. So, Monsalve Botero, she went from 2013

Began to try to use Colombian oak barrels for low-temperature fermentation of different lengths in 2000, and finally found a reason this year.

Think of the way, and then make the fermented beans in this oak barrel which is different from the ordinary water washing.
