Paya Washed Caturra & Pache Verde

Description

8 years ago, Santos took a chance and bought a 0.7 hectare parcel of land with some poorly maintained coffee trees already growing on its plot. Then, by joining the El Sendero co-operative, Santos has been able to learn from and use the co-op's many resources to up-level the farm practice. He has also greatly increased the number of coffee trees on the plot and subsequent yield. This lot serves as of the great improvement in cup quality Santos was able to bring to his parcel. This field blend contains some new and some old trees. Right now, their annual production is just 759kg, but it continues to grow each year. In the cup, we're reminded of white peony tea: a sweet, soft and delicate bodied profile. There is a subtle sugar-y stone fruit quality we're calling apricot syrup. We get lots of green melon as well. There is no strong acid and instead a very mellow, sessionable, but delicate cup. This is the profile for tea-lovers. This coffee launched on August 18th as part of Drop 11!
