The estate utilizes a carbonic maceration process, involving whole-cherry fermentation with added yeast and lactic bacteria. This coffee features a complex flavor profile with tropical notes of dried mango and sweet blueberry, complemented by a rich, boozy quality. It is grown in a shaded agroforestry system without the use of synthetic pesticides or fungicides.
