September Lemon Meringue

Lemon | Powdered Sugar | Floral

Felipe Estela is the uncle of David Flores, a producer we’ve had the honour of featuring earlier this year. Felipe has produced this balanced, clean, and sweet lot of washed Caturra that reminds us of our favourite slice of lemon meringue pie, jammy stone fruits, and delicate florals.

Comes Whole Bean *If you would like your coffee ground, please include a note in your cart indicating the type of coffee machine you'll be using it in.

This Caturra lot is traditionally washed. Felipe handpicks ripe coffee cherries at El Robele and sorts them accordingly. The cherries are floated to remove any defects. Prior to de-pulping, the whole coffee cherries will remain in airtight tanks for 48 hours to enhance their natural sweetness. As with most washed processes, the mucilage of the coffee cherry is fully removed during the de-pulping process so all that remains is the wet coffee parchment within. The coffee parchment is then rinsed with fresh water and dried in solar dryers and under shade for approximately 20 to 25 days. Working alongside the team at El Morito, Felipe then preps his dried lot for export.
