HISTORY
The Primavera Family lot was created from 10-15 producers who are working with exceptional quality, but whose individual lots are too small to stand out even as microlots. By combining all their harvests, this balanced and high-quality regional blend is generated, with the classic Huehue profile.
This regional lot is unique, and each blend lot is fully transparent and traceable to each of its producers. We decided to buy the coffee to give them the opportunity to use the extra income they receive from selling at a higher price to reinvest in their farm and in the wet mills. We constantly work with our producers to help them improve the quality and productivity of their farms.
VARIETY AND PROCESS
The process for this coffee is Washed, which involves completely removing the mucilage from the bean and letting it ferment in water tanks for 12-18 hours before drying it in the sun.
