Country of origin: Honduras

Region: Kokkin, Kopan region

Farm: Finca San Rafael- Norma Ellis Fiaros

Altitude: 1350m

Variety: red Kaduai

Processing method: anaerobic fermentation, prolonging fermentation for 90 hours, drying on elevated bed

Bouquet: aromas of cherry liqueur, raisins, dark chocolate, tamarind and flowers.

Finca San Rafael, located in Korkin in the Copan region of Honduras, is one of the most advanced producers in the region. The professional microbatches we got from her are unparalleled. The aroma of anaerobic fermentation is strong and delicate, with aromas of cherry liqueur, raisins, dark chocolate, tamarind and flowers in the cup and hand.

Finca San Rafael is immersed in a pine forest, which greatly helps acidify the soil and gives the coffee a very unique cup shape. In addition, coffee grows completely in the shade and accounts for only a small part of the total land. Coffee is grown using organic farming techniques and has been certified as organic.

After anaerobic treatment, the special micro-batch using only red grape varieties was soaked for a very long time, which was extended to 90 hours. It is then dried on an elevated bed in a manner similar to naturally processed coffee.

The preparation is carried out in the Aruco Co-Op factory, which ensures very high quality standards, so it is the first choice for processing special micro batches. After strict manual picking, the cherries were sent to the mill, where they were washed and selected for the first time. In this way, the immature cherries can be removed immediately. Then put the high quality in an airtight steel drum to create an oxygen-free fermentation environment. Continuously monitor the temperature of each barrel and keep it at about 22-25 °C. After 96 hours, remove the cherries and place them on a raised drying bed, place there for about 25 days, and then turn them every hour until the moisture content drops to about 12%.
