Notes: Orange, rose wine, papaya, & apricot  Farm: Finca El Retiro Producer: Pacas Family Varietal: Bernardina Process: AnaerobicAnaerobic fermentationCherries or depulped seeds ferment in sealed, oxygen-free tanks. Produces intense, unusual flavors — cinnamon, bubblegum, boozy fruit — that divide opinion. HoneyHoney processThe skin is removed but some sticky fruit mucilage is left on during drying. Lands between washed and natural: more sweetness and body than washed, cleaner than natural. Sunset Relationship: Since 2012 About: Bernardina is one of the most exciting discoveries of this decade in coffee. This rare and exotic varietal is cared for by one of the most revered coffee families in the world, the Pacas family. For 2019 in collaboration with Cafes Pacas, Proud Mary Coffee created the inaugural ‘Sunset’ process. The Bernardina varietal was fermented as whole cherry for 72 hours without oxygen and dried as a honey. The colors presented in processing were hues of burgundy, copper, and gold, reminiscent of the sunsets of Finca El Retiro. We are thrilled to release this limited edition tin designed by a local artist and family friend of the Pacas family. The design represents the treasure that is Bernardina. How to drink: Just like you wouldn't add soda your best whiskey, this amazing coffee is meant to be drank black with no sugar or cream. 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: 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.
