Coming to us from our importing partners at Ventola Coffee, this coffee is delicate, sweet, and floral. When warm, El Roble has sweet and soft citric qualities, reminiscent of ripe plum and orange blossom honey. As it cools, you’ll be met with a bright yet refreshing acidity, reminding us of rooibos tea and lemonade. We love the El Roble for its juicy body and pronounced sweetness, we hope you will too.
Coffee cherries are picked, then floated and separated to select only the most dense cherries. They are then picked by hand to include 70% ripe, 20% over-ripe, and 10% under-ripe. After 24hrs of fermentation, cherries are de-pulped and the next day harvest is added to the coffee mass to ferment for another 24hrs. The mass is then washed and left to dry on raised beds for 2 weeks until the grain reaches below 11% moisture.
