From the roaster

Proveniente dalla rinomata regione di Santa Bárbara, questo SL28 cresce a 1700 m di altitudine, dove microclima e suolo ricco contribuiscono a sviluppare un profilo aromatico complesso. Il processo di lavorazione washed esalta note fruttate e pulite, con sentori di arancia, mela rossa e miele.

Fedele alla varietà, questo lotto ricorda gli SL28 coltivati in Kenya, con intense note violacee di ribes nero e mora. Allo stesso tempo, il terroir di Santa Bárbara e Finca La Salsa dona una tazza più ricca, dolce e rotonda, leggermente meno brillante rispetto al profilo kenyano tradizionale.

Un caffè raro, elegante e profondamente rappresentativo del talento di Benjamin Paz.
