Best brew

The main variety used in this coffee is Tipica, which is known for its delicate taste characteristics. Combined with careful processing, this makes the coffee extremely balanced and flavourful.

About the variety and the process:

Finca Fátima coffee undergoes carbonic maceration, a method in which the coffee cherries are placed in closed carbon dioxide (CO₂) vessels, creating an anaerobic environment (without oxygen). This controlled fermentation develops unique fruit flavours. The cherries are then dried slowly on raised beds for 15-30 days. The winemaking-inspired technique gives the coffee a more complex and refined flavor profile.

The taste

The coffee offers a complex flavour profile in which notes of dark chocolate, black tea, citrus, plums, honey and red fruits can be detected. Balanced malic acidity (peach and white grape) adds freshness, while subtle notes of dried fruits and spices make it an unforgettable experience for the senses.
