This coffee is a Maragogype variety from Finca La Negrita in Tolima, Colombia, grown at 1,900-2,100 meters altitude and produced by Mauricio Shattah. It is processed using Nuruk Anaerobic Natural method, which involves fermenting whole coffee cherries with Nuruk (a traditional Korean fermentation starter) in nitrogen-flushed sealed tanks.
