ABOUT THE FARM AND COFFEE PRODUCER

El Vergel is a relatively young farm, as its first harvest took place only 10 years ago. However, the Bayter family has rapidly transformed the plantation into one of the most advanced in the industry in terms of complex processing and the cultivation of a wide range of selected, highly sought-after botanical varieties, such as Geisha, Pink Bourbon, Laurina, and Pacamara.Currently, ongoing research on bacteria and yeast is being conducted at El Vergel to achieve even greater precision in controlling fermentation and, consequently, modulating flavor.In addition to coffee production, the Bayters are the founders of Forest, a company involved in both the export and import of green coffees, which means we were able to purchase this coffee without the involvement of intermediaries.

ABOUT COFFEE PROCESSING AT THE FARM

Sidra variety, hand-picked, fermented as whole cherries for 72 hours with limited air access, with the addition of must from the fermentation of another botanical variety, Java.This must is a liquid that is produced as a byproduct of coffee fermentation and contains a high concentration of microorganisms—bacteria and yeast. Their increased presence lowers the starting barrier of fermentation, making it more intensive and faster. The result? More intensive formation of metabolites, which have a direct impact on the final, more complex and deeper profile in the brew.The coffee is dried in two stages—first mechanically for 4 days in a temperature-controlled environment, then for 18 days on raised beds. It is homogenized for 30 days in plastic bags.

ROASTER'S OPINION

One of those coffees where you take the first sip and specific descriptors come to the tongue faster than you can consciously think of them. In our case: mango-passion fruit yogurt, without a doubt!
