Grown by Ximena Cifuentes in Buesaco, between 2100 and 2400 masl, the coffee benefits from a stable microclimate shaped by mountain air currents and consistent humidity near the Meneses stream.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProcessing follows a traditional washed approach, guided by experience rather than strict timelines. After careful cherry selection and flotation, the coffee undergoes open-tank fermentation, with daily mixing to ensure even development. This method, combined with the region’s moderate temperatures, allows for extended fermentation that builds clarity and structure without pushing intensity. The beans are then washed and slowly sun-dried over 8 to 15 days, preserving balance and sweetness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the cup, the profile opens with a subtle oolong clarity, followed by the comforting sweetness of baked apple and caramel. A soft nutty base and a gentle rooibos-like finish bring warmth and structure, creating a cup that feels both layered and composed. The acidity is fruity but controlled, supported by a soft, rounded body.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy We Chose This Coffee\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe chose this lot for how clearly it reflects its origin.
