This filter and espresso blend is made up mainly of natural process coffee(s) to achieve the fruity flavor of the coffee cherry. Natural process involves sun-drying the harvested coffee cherry before separating the fruit from the seeds. Then, the dried seeds ship to roasters around the world to be roasted. It’s after the roasting step that the seeds are usually called “beans” because of their brown color. This ancient processing method results in a cup with syrupy body and the intensity of berry fruit. With the intentionality practiced by specialty coffee producers, this method has become immensely popular among coffee fanatics in the last decade. In the cup, expect an intriguing fruitiness in both flavor and aroma.
