These beans are washed, so the cherry is completely removed from the bean before the drying process begins. Because of this, the tastes that manifest in this cup are all due to the bean. After defective beans are removed (sorting), the remaining beans are pulped using a machine, then they are fermented for 18-24 hours and subsequently dried. This coffee is a crowd favorite, as its clean, sweet fruit tones and hint of spice balance perfectly with its warming milk chocolate finish.
More info about this coffee
The Medina sisters, Luha and Issel, have worked on their family's farm for years. Although the coffee-growing industry in Honduras has been historically male-dominated (and still is), these sisters have forged their way to being an integral part of the coffee-growing community in Santiago de Puringla. Despite the barriers, Luha and Issel now manage the farm and are involved in many other ways in their community. Other projects that the Medina sisters are taking on include creating a roasted coffee brand with plans of a coffee shop, creating a farmers' co-op (which now runs its own small mill), and product and income diversification efforts (producing honey, fruit wines, etc.). They are living proof that resiliency and tenacity can open doors previously sealed off to women in the male-dominated Honduras coffee scene, and that communities thrive with women at the forefront.
