Tasting NotesTasting notesThe flavors a roaster perceives in the cup — 'jasmine, apricot, black tea'. Descriptive associations, not ingredients: nothing is added to the coffee.: Chocolate, vanilla, red apple, & syrupy Producer: Manuel Vallecillo Region: El Cielito Varietal: Pacas Process: NaturalNatural processThe whole cherry is dried with the fruit still on the seed. Gives heavier body and big fruit flavors — think berries and wine — sometimes with a fermenty edge. Relationship: Since 2014 Recipe: Espresso - 1:2.5 Filter - 1:17 About the Farm We travelled up the rocky slopes to get to Manuel’s farm. A horse stood in the middle of the road. The horse whisperer, Benjamin, moved the huge beast off the road. Higher and higher we climbed until the outline of the wet millWashing stationA central mill where many smallholder farmers deliver cherry for processing. In Ethiopia, Kenya, and Rwanda the station name (e.g. Idido) often identifies the coffee. emerged from the dense fog. It’s another world up here. The cool night temperatures cause the coffee cherries to mature slowly and develop a higher sugar content. This year Manuel produced his first bags of natural coffee… and they taste great! Roasting days: Proud Mary roast Monday-Friday during normal business hours. To ensure freshness of coffee, best to order early in the week as postal services and couriers do not operate on weekends. Orders: Orders placed by 8.30am PST will be roasted and dispatched the same day. If you are ordering on a Friday, and order after 8.30am then your coffee will be roasted the following business day - Monday.
