About the farm:

Finca La Cristalina maintains a focus on the environment and supporting biodiversity. Coffee is washed and depulped at the ecological mill, where coffee pulp is placed into compost treatment and is converted to organic fertilizer for the coffee trees. La Cristalina also uses various types of trees to shade the coffee plants. Many of these tree species—including walnut, red cedar, and guava—act as habitats for many types of birds around the farm. They also plant black cedar trees, a tree at risk of extinction, from its own nursery on the farm.

 

This Pink Bourbon coffee underwent Natural processing. Cherries were harvested at peak ripeness, indicated by the coloration of the cherries between pink and orange hues. The coffee was fermented in cherry for up to 30 hours at room temperature before being taken to the drying area. The coffee is dried here at low temperature for up to 50 days, finally being stabilized at a humidity of 15%. Drying is completed at the time of sale.

This extreme attention to detail results in a deeply flavor saturated coffee.

**Note any items purchased in conjunction with this coffee will ship together, no split shipments at this time.
