From the Farmer:
We're thrilled to introduce the newest addition to our line-up - meticulously and creatively processed nano-lots from Frankie Gonzalez. After replanting his farm with hybrid coffee varietals, Frankie faced a challenge when his coffee wasn't hitting the expected sugar concentration levels. Instead of giving up, he experimented with alternative fermentation protocols and introduced exotic fruits like guavas and pineapple to enhance the coffee's natural sweetness. The results are nothing short of exciting - with unique and diverse flavors that showcase the potential of deep processing knowledge to empower small farmers. For this controversial nano-lot, Limani, Obata, and Fronton varietals were soaked and fermented in a medley of natural skins and pulp, from various tropical fruits growing alongside arabica coffee in Fankie's farm. His method produced a wildly aromatic, yet balanced cup. We're proud to support Frankie's innovation and purchase over 50% of his harvest this season, collaborating on next season's processing strategy to bring you the best possible coffee.
