Jermy is a third generation coffee farmer, as well as an engineer and agronomist. Fifteen years ago, he purchased a farm called La Joya in Chachagui. Fortunately, the farm has excellent climatic conditions, that enhance the attributes valued in the cup. La Joya experiences warm days and cool nights, which slow down the plant’s metabolism. This unique temperature variation helps develop a wide range of compounds that contribute to the complexity and richness of the coffee’s flavor profile.
Processing at farm La Joya begins with selectively harvesting only ripe coffee cherries, which are then sorted via flotation. After floating, the cherries are manually sorted before undergoing the main processing. This blend of Caturra, Castillo, and Colombia coffee varieties undergoes Natural processing. Sorted cherries are placed into sealed bags with a starter culture from Jermy's other processes and fermented anaerobically for five days. The fermented cherries are then dried on raised beds for 10 days, followed by an additional two days in a mechanical dryer. Natural processing enhances the complexity of the coffee’s flavor profile and highlighting fruity and wine-like notes.
This coffee is roasted for filter - meaning, a light roast. We roast our seasonal coffees in this manner because we wish for the coffee to shine as it is - for it to display the characteristics that have produced its excellent quality. This kind of roast allows the natural flavours, acids and sugars of the coffee to be in the front, and lets you learn about its origin through taste. As the name says, it's best used in filter coffee methods, such as drip or immersion, so while making an espresso from these is possible, it could prove tricky.
We recommend you enjoy this coffee within 6 months of the roasting date.
Store in a dry and cool place, between +16 and +25 degrees.
