Single-origin coffee from El Vergel Estate in Tolima, Colombia, sourced at 1450 meters elevation. Features the Sidra varietal, processed using the Mosto Anaerobic method—a specialty technique involving anaerobic fermentation with mosto (fermentation lixiviates from Java coffee containing bacteria and yeasts). This process enhances complexity and highlights the coffee's natural flavors. The estate, operated by the Bayter family, practices exhaustive research on fermentation control and continues experimental processing methods.
