In the cup we taste juicy citrus like grapefruit and tangerine, with a bright citric acidity. This coffee has a raspberry like sweetness and delicate florals that reminds us of black tea. It has a long bright finish with a light body.

This is a traditional washed coffee where cherries are floated and then left 24 hours. Once depulped, the seeds are left for 54 hours before being dried on raised beds for 20 days.

Wilmer, despite a lifetime of working as a coffee grower and coffee picker, was largly unable to access the specialty market until becoming connected with Monkaaba. Monkaaba is an initiative in San Agustin led by Esnaider Ortega. The goal is to assist other growers in the area not only to find a better market for their coffee, one that pays a solid price, but also to invest in the knowledge and skill of producers in a way that ensures their future success.
