what to expect in the cup
Goji berries, juniper, rosemary. Very sweet and silky with extraordinary complexity and elegant botanical notes.
Variety: Typica Mejorado
Process: Triple Rosso
Typica Mejorado Rosso This is the first year La Florida has applied this process with a Typica Mejorado. The process was to ferment the cherries for 48 hours in sealed tanks with CO2, until pH reached 4.2. The cherries were then pulped but some mucilage was left attached to the parchment. A second fermentation, this time aerobic, occurred until pH was reading 3.7. A ‘Mosto’ or the juices from the cherries was added to this stage. The result after these two fermentation processes is that the parchment gets tainted with a reddish colour. Hence the name, Typica Rosso.
Producer Notes
Winners of the 2020 Taza Dorada in Ecuador and coffee used by 2021 Brewers Cup World Champion. La Florida is run by the Coronel family and it’s a perfect example of a sustainable integrated farm which produces world class coffees. They are experienced land workers, producing in their land sugar cane, fruit and vegetables, breed pigs, tilapia fish and cultivate one of the healthiest plantations of coffee we’ve seen so far.
The Coronel family run an agroforestry system in the farm where they pay special attention to the soil. They strongly believe that a healthy soil, adapted to the plant’s needs and to the environment is crucial for achieving good cup quality. Hacienda La Florida was acquired by the Coronel family in 1993. They tell us that this was a Spanish hacienda back in colonial times and an indigenous settlement before then. The climate in the area is very warm and dry. It is surrounded by a primary forest which holds a wide biodiversity like orchids, civets, armadillos, deer and pumas.
Most of which are often seen in the farm. Ramiro and his younger brother Fabrizio are both agricultural engineers. They have been cultivating coffee since 2014 after being introduced to the cultivation of specialty coffee by a project from the ministry of agriculture to re-activate the coffee production in the country. After this initial support, La Florida has evolved independently and towards a sustainable agriculture of quality.
