Lime, tangerines good acidity, stevia, juicy Medium body with refreshing acidity, very sweet and fermenty, fruity aftertaste. Fruity and acidic part of the coffee that you recognise at the beginning surprises you with fresh peppermint/ stevia like sparkling touch; kind of feeling when you twist the peel of a tangerine or an orange. Light roasted; can be enjoyed as filter as well
More about the coffee
Cristina Solis inherited a small piece of land from her father — land her family had never farmed. When she married, she and her husband began working it, and among the first things they planted was coffee. They fell for it, and have tended their one-hectare plantation with care ever since.
Each year brings a small harvest. As coffee prices have fallen they've diversified into fruits and vegetables too. Their five children have grown and moved on, but Cristina hopes to leave the farm to them — her dream is to keep it sustainable for the next generation.
