Nolberto Gaviria
I produced the coffee you have in your hands!
Finca Las Camelias
A special coffee with little caffeine by nature: The Laurina variety was only recently discovered and contains only half as much caffeine, 0.3 - 0.7%, as normal roasts. A full, velvety body and sweet notes of peach and clementines.
The beans of our Laurina were processed with Pulp Natural method (also known as 'Honey Process'). In this method, part of the mucilage remains attached to the beans. The beans take on all the sweetness of the honey-like layer. To avoid unwanted fermentation, the beans are constantly turned while drying.
When cupped, we taste fruity-sweet notes of white chocolate, peach and clemetine. Its body is full and velvety. A natural and incredibly great low-caf coffee that you should not miss!

Nolberto has a very strict cherry selection criteria on his farm, once the cherries are picked he uses the washed process method. After screening, only the ripe cherries are allowed into the de-pulping machine. The fermentation process period takes roughly 24 hours. After fermentation, the coffee is washed and sun-dried on patios and drying beds until 11% of humidity, then a coffee sample is taken to the Lab.
Parchment coffee is packaged and stored in the farm until lab results are available and price is agreed
