*150 grams of roasted coffee per bag for this selection

We have now been purchasing coffee from Finca Soledad for 3 seasons. This time around, we are privileged to feature a honey processed varietal set with Mejorado and Sydra. This is the first season that Pepe & company have applied honey processing to their coffees, and we are blessed with the chance to continue seeing new, beautiful expressions of varieties from this farm that we have become so well acquainted with.

We desire to honor and promote all of the hands that were involved in this coffee, and the names you see above include everyone involved in planting & nurturing trees, picking cherries, processing and drying, milling and preparing the coffees to be exported. You will see all of these names printed on the label for this coffee!

This Mejorado lot is totally set apart from any other Soledad lot of the same variety we have had - in regards to how it displays in the cup. We were pretty surprised to find a highly white floral profile, which we don't typically experience with the Mejorado from Finca Soledad (typically red floral / hibiscus). Jasmine and honeysuckle are at the forefront, followed by a very rounded tangerine. The finish is a very interesting white tropical fruit, which we can most associate with mangosteen. Altogether, this processing - which is most akin to "yellow honey," shouts "washed" in the cup, and I'd argue cupping this coffee blind would not indicate it to be a honey processed coffee.
