Background:
This coffee was exposed to a dry aerobic fermentation for 24 hours and later placed inside grain pro bags for 90 hours maintaining a temperature below 22 C. In this environment, bacteria feed on carbohydrates and sugars from the mucilage leading to a higher concentration of lactic acid. Later placed on raised beds until 11% moisture content is achieved.
San Bernardo varietal is a natural mutation of Typica that originated in Guatemala. It is a very rare varietal to come across in Colombia. Trees are even smaller than Caturra or Castillo and not resistant to leaf rust. The yield is low, and the cup profile is unique, complex with floral notes, spices, and a medium body.
