• SL28 originated in Kenya and was selected by Scott Laboratories in the 1930s, renowned for its bright acidity and complex layers. This variety features excellent flavor concentration, often exhibiting citrus, berry, or tropical fruit notes with a clear, lingering sweetness. Its distinct structure adds liveliness and tension to the cup, making it one of the most iconic varieties in specialty coffee.
• Caturra is a natural dwarf mutation of Bourbon that originated in Brazil. It has a shorter stature and stable yield, with a balanced and clean flavor structure.

It provides a solid base and balanced support for the coffee, making the overall profile more harmonious and easy to drink.

Process: Anaerobic Natural

• Anaerobic natural processing uses controlled fermentation in a sealed environment to concentrate fruit flavors, enhance sweetness, and elevate the depth and aromatic intensity. This batch presents a balanced structure of acidity, sweetness, and spice notes, resulting in a lively, high-quality profile that combines expressive flavor with great drinkability.
