A newly acquired Los Volcanes research farm whose first documented Partners release combines a familiar Antigua profile with detailed ownership and management traceability.
WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?
The primarily Bourbon lot grows around 1,630 meters beneath grevillea and avocado shade on Volcán de Agua.
Harvested coffee is transported to Beneficio La Esperanza in Antigua, where it is depulped, fermented and washed.
The washed parchment is meticulously dried on patios; duration is not published.
No fruit, spice or flavoring ingredient is disclosed.
Fermentation duration and drying duration are not published.
The corrected profile separates farm ownership and management from the off-site beneficio that performs wet processing and drying.
Milk chocolate, red apple, ginger snap, stone fruit, dried orange, caramel and chai spice.
