The Producer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Henry Bonilla grew up working on El Array\u00e1n, the family farm he would later inherit from his father. His early immersion in agriculture shaped a deep understanding of coffee cultivation, making his transition into full farm management seamless.
\nRecognized for his innovative spirit, Henry has embraced advanced processing techniques to elevate the quality of his coffees. He has introduced exotic varieties such as Gesha, while refining traditional cultivars like Tabi and Castillo through controlled fermentations and flavour-enhancing microbial processes.
\nBeyond his own farm, Henry is an influential community leader. He frequently shares his knowledge with neighbouring producers, promoting more sustainable practices, better post-harvest management, and pathways to specialty-grade production.<\/p>\n

Processing<\/strong><\/p>\n

This coffee has gone through many stages involving advanced processing techniques, time and labour. Cata export has explained the stages to us below:<\/p>\n

Step 1 \u2013 Selective Harvesting only fully ripe Pink Bourbon cherries are handpicked to ensure maximum sweetness and consistent quality.<\/p>\n

Step 2 \u2013 Controlled Oxidation (In Cherry) The cherries undergo a 24\u201348 hour oxidation stage to activate natural enzymatic reactions and develop berry-forward aromatic precursors.<\/p>\n

Step 3 \u2013 Depulping & Pre-Wash Cherries are depulped carefully, and the parchment is lightly rinsed to remove surface mucilage while keeping enough sugars for fermentation complexity.<\/p>\n

Step 4 \u2013 Flor de Jamaica Fermentation (Advanced Stage) The parchment is transferred to sealed bioreactors where it ferments for 60\u201372 hours using:
\n\u25cf Selected yeast strains
\n\u25cf A Flor de Jamaica (hibiscus) infusion, rich in natural acids and anthocyanins
\n\u25cf Controlled temperature conditions
\nThis step enhances red-fruit acidity, floral aromatics, and pomegranate-like complexity.<\/p>\n

Step 5 \u2013 Thermal Shock Rinse A brief thermal shock is applied after fermentation to stabilize the microbial profile and lock in the fruity aromatics.<\/p>\n

Step 6 \u2013 Washing & Mucilage Removal After fermentation, the coffee is fully washed to remove remaining mucilage while preserving the enhanced aromatic precursors.<\/p>\n

Step 7 \u2013 Drying Process Drying begins on solar beds until moisture reaches ~30%, then finishes under controlled airflow in mechanical dryers until the coffee reaches 10\u201311% moisture.<\/p>\n

Step 8 \u2013 Resting & Stabilization The dried parchment rests for 3\u20134 weeks under controlled humidity and temperature, allowing flavors to integrate before milling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Brewing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Makes for a superb Cold Brew or iced filter. On pour over we use the Hario Switch water first method, immersion and then drawdown. It’s super easy and has great replicable results on this coffee. Wider ratio for more tea like character, 1:17 for example.<\/p>\n

For best results we recommend purchasing whole bean and grinding fresh before brewing. If you don’t have a grinder, we can grind to your preferred brewing method prior to shipping.<\/p>\n
