Centroamericano is a cross between Rume Sudan from Ethiopia and Sarchimor from Central America. This variety has successfully adapted to the shaded conditions of the farm, similar to the forests in which it natively grows in Ethiopia. It's production is vigorous, and it's cup profile, superb.
This natural processed coffee is inspired by the traditional African method of processing coffee where the cherries are spread on a patio for solar drying, without previously removing the pulp that surrounds the bean. Over a slow drying process which takes up to 3 weeks, the beans absorb traces of the alcohols and sugars that make up the fruit of the cherry. The result is a coffee which will conquer the taste buds of those who crave exotic, sweet flavours. This natural offers unique blueberry and chocolate notes, within a very complex body and fine acidity.
Clean Coffee
Clean Coffee
We believe coffee should be both delicious and responsibly sourced. That’s why we only work with specialty-grade coffees that are carefully harvested, dried, and stored. Once processed, every lot is sealed in GrainPro bags to protect it from moisture during transit and storage.
The result is clean, safe coffee that reflects the care of everyone involved. Some people have asked us about things like mold or mycotoxins, especially ochratoxin A (OTA), which can form in poorly handled coffees. It’s a fair question, but in coffees of this quality, stored and roasted the way we do, the risk is extremely low.
If you’d like to know more, we’re happy to share additional information. Just ask, we’re all about keeping things open and honest.
