Nicaragua Finca Libre Diamante Anaerobic Natural Red Catuai (30kg Vac Pack)
About This Coffee
The Region
The Finca Libre farm is located in the community of El Pinabete, in the municipality of Mozonte in Nueva Segovia, northern Nicaragua. The area is close to the border with Honduras, and indeed the Dipilto mountain range in Jalapa forms the border between Nicaragua and Honduras, characterized by high elevation and diverse microclimates ideal for specialty coffee production.
Nueva Segovia boasts some of the highest growing altitudes in Nicaragua. The terrain is as beautiful as it is challenging to traverse, characterised by rolling hills and dense forest, often engulfed by thick clouds.
The Process
This lot was produced using natural process with an extended anaerobic fermentation. First, ripe cherries are sorted and washed. Afterward, they are introduced into airtight temperature-controlled ferment for 36-48 hours in an anaerobic environment.
After the fermentation period is finished, the cherries are taken out of the tanks and dried on raised African beds for 15 days. The cherries are moved by hand three times a day to allow them to dry evenly and prevent mould or over-fermentation.
