About this coffee:
Spirits are always high when Pepe’s coffee lands back onto our offerlist!
This coffee undergoes Pepe’s “Wave Honey” process. The cherries undergo an initial fermentation in tanks for 72 hours then get dried very slowly in a dark room using intermittent temperatures for up to 50 days.
Once the desired humidity is met, the coffee is put into grainpro bags to stabilize for 1 month.
We’re tasting Elstar apple, lemon verbena and honey!
The Story:
After working as a Mountain guide Pepe went on a mission to fully explore the planet, he visited over 100 countries. Impressively, he successfully climbed the seven summits solo.
After so much travel, he longed for a calm introspection in a natural piece of land he would eventually call home, ‘Intag Valley’. On his farm Finca Soledad, he grows Typica Mejorada, Sydra and Geisha. The farm itself is extremely small for coffee production (approximately 4 hectares) so receiving coffee from his farm is always a special treat!
