The Little Details
This coffee comes from La Esperanza farm in La Coipa, Cajamarca, Peru. It's grown 1850 meters above sea level and are fully washed and dried on raised beds. It's drawn from Typica and Bourbon varietal coffee beans.
About the Process
The process begins with trhe cherries being selectively handpicked and sorted into ripe and overripe cherries, before being floated in cool clean water to remove any low-density cherries. Once complete, the coffee cherry is placed intosacks for 12 hours tro begin the fermentation process. Next the coffee is pulped: each producer has their own de-pulper located on the farm, often close to the house or main building. Once the coffee has been de-pulped, the coffee beans go back into sacks for a further 24 hours to continue the fermentation process. The coffee is then washed three times to remove all remaining mucilage and drained of any excess water , before finally placed on raised beds to dry. Here the beans will remain for around 10-15 days, depending on the level of rain.
Once dried, the coffee is then transported to the dry mill located at the Alpes Andinos headquarters in Jaen.
