This coffee is from El Paraiso village in the Huabal district of Cajamarca. The village center sits atop a small mountain with beautiful vistas in every direction. The climate conditions and soil can vary considerably, contributing to diverse cup profiles and complex coffees. The ripest cherries are hand-picked and taken to the mill, where they are rinsed and sorted. They are then milled and dried in the sun to 10-11% moisture. The result is a supremely balanced cup with an elegant orange acidity and a sweet brown-sugary finish.
We recommend letting fresh coffee rest to allow the beans to stabilize. This will result in a sweeter, more expressive cup. We rest washed coffees 5–10 days, naturals 10–15 days, and experimentals 15–30 days.
