This coffee continues our partership with El Vergel Coffee/Forest Coffee. This coffee scourced from Daniel Hernandez, a coffee farmer from Antioquia who partners with Forest to distribute his coffee. Daniel has been raised in the rich coffee-growing legacy of his family, spanning three generations. But Daniel isn’t a typical farmer – he harbors ambitious dreams. His vision? To leave an indelible mark on the coffee world by crafting exceptional, specialty brews that draw crowds for just a sip. Beyond that, Daniel is committed to making his farm a model of sustainability, embracing eco-friendly practices to make Mother Nature proud.
Forest have named this coffee as Tropical Chiroso. This is because the process gives this Chiriso varietal a beautiful tropical fruit profile. First, the beans enjoy a period of controlled oxygen exposure for relaxation. Then, the depulping stage removes their cherry coats, leading to a 48-hour fermentation for enhanced flavor. Following the fermentation, a refreshing rinse precedes the sun-drying phase on raised beds.
