CAMPO HERMOSO
A limited release fruit bomb, cultivated and processed by Edwin Noreña at Finca Campo Hermoso. Edwin is a fourth generation farmer, Q Grader, Q Processor, and Cup of Excellence judge in addition to overseeing his farm and processing operation.
Edwin begins this coffee’s fermentation process with a 48 hour carbonic macerated “red fruits” co-fermentation using a blend of 40% coffee mossto and 60% strawberry mossto. Mossto being the Spanish word to describe the liquid released from fruits in a previous fermentation. This initial stage of fermentation imparting a unique strawberry aroma and tasting note to the coffee.
After it’s first carbonic maceration fermentation, the coffee cherries are depulped and put through an additional carbonic maceration fermentation using only coffee mossto for 24 hours. Afterwards, the pulped coffee is allowed to dry in mucilage for 18 to 20 days as a honey-process.

DECAF LA RISARALDA
This coffee was processed as a washed lot before being brought to an in-country facility specializing in sugarcane ethyl acetate decaffeination. A naturally occurring compound derived from the fermentation of sugar cane, ethyl acetate naturally bonds with the compounds present in coffee decaffeinating it in the process.
Upon arrival, the lot is steamed in silo to shed any silver skin and to open the coffees pores in preparation for decaffeination. Afterwards the coffee is soaked in water and ethyl acetate for for a period of 24 hours, removing between 98-99% of the caffeine in the process.

LA BASTILLA
Dragonfruit + Melon + Honey + Cocoa Liquor
Finca La Bastilla is situated on rich volcanic soils surrounded by the natural reserve of Cerro Datanli El Diablo. The estate is divided into multiple micro-farms in order to utilize the varying microclimates when cultivating different varieties. Additionally La Bastilla owns it’s own micro-mill in order to further control processing.
This coffee was sealed within steel tanks and fermented in an oxygen free environment creating bright and sweet tasting notes that carry through the cup.

JESUS PEREZ
Apple + Raspberry + Walnut + Cardamom
Jesus inherited his land from his father where they primarily sowed corn and beans. In 2012, they started sowing in coffee plants and continued to do so after seeing how successful it was. Jesus further refined his practices after joining the El Sendero Coop. This lot was harvested and depulped, followed by a 32 hour dry fermentation where it is then washed and dried on a patio for 7 days.

KANZU
A silky, sweet, & floral washed coffee.
Located in the Nyamasheke district of Rwanda, the Kanzu washing station sits at 1900 masl. Coffee is grown among cassava, sugar cane, sweet potato, and bananas where it is harvested from March until July. Cherries are floated and pulped before being dry fermented over the course of 18 hours. The coffee's remaining mucilage is washed off and then soaked before being placed on a raised bed to dry for an additional 18 hours. Any wastewater created during processing is treated with Effective microorganisms (EMTechnologiesTM) to secure the local water resources for the nearby community.
