This specific lot features a carefully curated blend of Bourbon, Caturra, and Catuaí varietals, sourced from Ebert’s finest selection. At Finca Artemira, all high-quality coffees undergo a meticulous process that has been refined over the years. While slight adjustments may be made to the drying stages for certain coffees, the majority of washed coffees are subjected to an anaerobic double fermentation. The process begins with soaking the cherries in tanks for liquefaction, followed by sealing them in tanks for 24 hours of anaerobic fermentation. After fermentation, the cherries are pulped, leaving the grain coated in mucilage, and undergo an additional 36 hours of fermentation. Finally, the coffee is washed to eliminate mucilage and dried in a solar dryer for 2 to 3 weeks until it achieves the desired moisture content of 11% to 12%. This meticulous approach, combined with the exceptional quality of the blend, results in a delightful flavour profile that we find ourselves enjoying repeatedly.
