About this coffee

From Finca La Cascarilla in El Airo, Espíndola, where third-generation farmer Manuel Efren Jiménez Flores grows mostly Pache (about 60%) with Catuai and Bourbon among bananas, cassava, maize, beans and fruit trees. Moving into specialty with Caravela seven years ago, he experiments with extended fermentations of up to 72 hours using salt; his wife Elvia Rosillo Vicente and their daughters run drying, in a three-stage solar system, and sales.
