Notes from our Green Buyer
There is a lot to say about this coffee from our old friend, Lucia Ortiz. La Avila is the highest part of the farm, sitting high above the rest of Las Mercedes at 1500 meters. It’s here they have planted their Maracaturra plants, which you’ll notice boast rather large beans because of half its genetics: the Maragogipe varietal. (This is crossed with Caturra to create the rare Maracaturra varietal.) After harvesting and hand-sorting, they take this lot and dry it in its full fruit (“Natural”), then the skin is removed after drying. What we get to enjoy is a rare coffee with a lot going on!
