We’re thrilled to introduce Hector’s coffee for the very first time! This lot begins with Hector carefully handpicking the ripest cherries, allowing them to rest overnight in the hopper before de-pulping the next morning. The wet parchment is then placed in GrainPro bags to ferment for 48 hours, followed by a wash and thorough draining. For drying, Hector has developed a unique method: the coffee is first dried in a mechanical silo at a controlled temperature of 20°–30°C for 24 hours. It is then stabilized in sealed GrainPro bags for an entire week. Finally, the parchment returns to the silo for an 8-hour final drying session, reaching the ideal 10% humidity. Expect vibrant notes of mango, peach, and jasmine, complemented by a juicyAcidityThe bright, lively, fruit-like sensation in coffee — praise, not a flaw. Citric sparkle, malic apple-crispness, tartaric wine notes; light roasts preserve more of it. mouthfeelBodyThe weight and texture of coffee in the mouth, from tea-like and delicate to syrupy and heavy. Driven by process, roast, variety, and brew method..
