Release #17 Prepare your palate for an extraordinary coffee experience. This exceptional Mandela variety, processed using an Anaerobic Natural method, is a testament to the dedication and expertise of one of our longest standing partner producers. Grown on the lush slopes of La Esperanza at altitudes ranging from 1445 to 1571 masl, these beans thrive in a climate boasting 80-85% humidity. This unique terroir, coupled with a meticulous processing technique, results in a truly remarkable cup. What sets this coffee apart is its groundbreaking 168 hour anaerobic fermentation – the longest fermentation period we've ever featured! This extended process unlocks a depth of flavor unlike any other. Following fermentation, the beans were carefully dried for 8-12 days, further enhancing their complexity. We got rich notes of Black Plum, a bright, citrusy acidic Navel Orange and a smooth Vanilla as the cup cooled.
