Anoxic Natural, Chiroso, Lightest Roaster Influence - Excellent for Filter or Turbo-espresso.
Co-founding Quebraditas with her partner, Edinson Argote - Luz Ángela has taken the modern processing to her family farm, Finca Chorro Alto.
This coffee was an absolute hit last season & we're delighted to bring it back. They've improved both the processing (less intense process-notes) as well as the picking (less quakers - and we've got a colour sorter to help out). Overall a super sweet and juicy banger, roasted light as to keep the process tame and the acidity bright and zippy.
We're tasting:
The aromatics are just outrageously strawberry forward - like the smell of cooking down a pot of fresh strawberry jam. In the cup the first impression is of that very same strawberry jam, followed by peach puree, ripe pear & apple, with the process character presenting as both dried mango & papaya with a hint of date molasses. As it cools, some of the interesting Chiroso herbal variety character shows as kiwi and verbena .
