BOLIVIA, FLORIPONDIO

Bright tropical fruit and plum notes balanced by the more-ish flavour of rooibos tea. This SL28 micro-lot heralds from Floripondi. This 47 hectare farm (29 of which are planted with coffee) is found at a staggering 1,710 meters above sea level. It has two breathtaking viewpoints: one over the spectacular Andes mountain ranges, and another over the Amboró National Park, which is considered having some of the world’s greatest biodiversity of flora and fauna.The cherries underwent a 90-hour fermentation with their skin, or ‘cascara’ intact, a process that the producer carefully monitors to ensure lactic acid development. After fermentation, the cherries were washed and dried for seven days. The result is a clean and complex cup with a silky smooth mouthfeel.
