Nearly 20 years ago, he was one of the first to produce the Gesha variety in Colombia. With each new variety that he produces, he focuses his energy into understanding it and how to adapt it to Colombia’s unique ecosystem. Rigoberto, or Rigo for short, comes from a line of coffee producers. The first farm in his family was established in 1945. Since then, they have accumulated three more, with La Esperanza being one of them. Within the past 15 years, the coffees from these farms have frequently placed top in competitions. This Java natural is a shining example of just how impressive Rigo’s coffees are. Though complex, it is very much an accessible cup with its sweet and juicy flavors and syrupy body.  In the Cup: Vibrant, Bright, Complex, Strawberry, Raspberry, Orange, Bubble Gum, Syrupy Body Innovative Release: Campo Hermoso Typica Washed Edwin Noreña is devoting his life’s work to coffee. He owns his own farm and processes his own coffees but his work goes beyond those borders. Additionally, he is a trained agronomist, instructor, consultant, Q-grader, and Cup of Excellence judge. How does a resume like that influence his own coffee? Edwin’s diverse and yet specifically coffee oriented background has emboldened him to pursue cup flavor through experimental processing. This kind of post-harvest processing comes with a lot of trial and error but the results have earned Edwin a kind of clout in the coffee industry as a flavor magician.  This Typica is a washed coffee. But this is not your average washed coffee by any stretch of the imagination. The coffee cherries are harvested when they reach a ripeness of 20º brix. Brix is a kind of measurement used in the coffee industry to determine the ripeness and sweetness of coffee cherries. And 20º brix is just about perfect! The coffee is then soaked in water for 2 hours and then fermented in a low oxygen system for 24 hours at 18-22º C. After that they are de-pulped and macerated for 48 hours before the mucilage is removed and the seeds are dried in a greenhouse for 8 days. In the Cup: Very complex: Christmas Cake, Elderflower, Orange, Cherry, Gin & Tonic, Sweet Cucumber, Citrus Ale   Unsure what Grind to choose? Here's how to decide. **All local pick up orders will remain available for 30 days.  After 30 days they will be donated to a local charity due to storage space.**
