BLUEBERRY - CACAO - MANDARIN

(1 customer review)

This exquisite coffee is processed using a natural method and an experimental drying technique called “sleeping bag”*. The result is an exceptionally rich flavor of red berries, cacao, and mandarin, with a pronounced citrus acidity.

* Opaque material is used to retain moisture. The process alternates open and closed stages. When the coffee is opened and distributed evenly, normal drying takes place on the surface. Periodically the coffee is covered very well, as in a sleeping bag. This technique greatly increases fermentation and allows the high density of the beans to be preserved and the fruity and vinous notes to develop.

SCA Score: 87.5

Resting: 12 days from the date of roasting.

Hermanos Mena

Jorge, Alfredo and Victor Mena are the sixth generation of coffee growers in their family and are responsible for running the Villa España farm. 

The farm has evolved over the years, it has had its ups and downs in terms of volume, but over time actions have been taken to sustain and diversify production. A planned planting strategy has also been implemented to replace the oldest and most affected coffee plantations with new varieties already acclimatised to the area. The maximum altitude of the area is 1450 metres and the climate does not exceed 25ºC.  

Besides farming, the farm has great potential for tourism as it is located in one of the most picturesque towns in the country, Atako. The Villa España farm, run by Victor, Alfredo and Jorge Mena, has become the family’s flagship farm, producing specialty coffees given the optimal conditions for producing high-quality coffee.

    Може би най-доброто кафе, което съм пил досега от Комета, специално по отношение на запазване на качествата си до последния грам през цялото време на употреба! Обикновено с други кафета се появява една горчивина, която заглушава вкусовете и ароматите с времето, при някои кафета в рамките на 2-3 дни след отварянето (ползвам Airscape контейнери), при други повече време, но при това конкретно, до последния ден (3 седмици ежедневно отваряне/затваряне) почти нямаше промяна!!!
