Processing: honey process | 90 points

The cherries, harvested at 90% optimal ripeness, are first fermented in closed drums for 30 hours before being pulped and then returned for a second phase of 30 hours. After drying on an asphalt patio and a controlled rest period of 10 days, the coffee is stabilized and prepared for export.

Sensory profile: bright + delicate

A bright and complex cup, marked by notes of orange blossom, white grape, pineapple, and passion fruit, supported by a lively acidity of lime and green apple. The texture evokes black tea and sugar cane, while the finish reveals nuances of mandarin, plum, and blackcurrant.
