Fig / Milk Chocolate / Creamy

The deep, rich fruity sweetness is the highlight of this cup. Milk chocolate with fig topped off with a fresh cherry acidity play well with the creamy, medium body. This is a deeply complex yet straightforward and articulate coffee.

Processing Info

Natural coffees are hard to produce at Finca Alcatraz. Consistently cool cloud cover keeps drying on the slow side, which increases risk of damage to the cherry throughout the process. Through careful attention, Don Wilfredo is able to pull off some incredibly clean naturals.

This mix of red and yellow Caturra was harvested in December 2022 and was put directly to dry after being picked. It was dried in a combination of parabolic and raised beds for 30 days.
