From the slope to the enquiry.

Four stations, each with our documented facts.

    Landscape and altitude

    In Venezuela coffee grows in the highlands of the Andes and the Coastal Range. Altitude shapes how slowly the cherries ripen.

    Altitude: 1,500 m (Geisha “El Tirol”, Táchira) · 2,020 m (Café y Ciencia, Mérida)

    Growing and harvest

    Picking is done by hand and selectively. On the farm, cherries are measured and selected before they go into processing.

In focus

Natural, washed and honey, explained

Processing shapes how a coffee tastes, often more than the variety does. Three basic methods, one difference: how much fruit is still on the bean while it dries.

  1. Washed
  2. Honey
  3. Natural
  4. Experimental fermentation

Washed

The pulp is removed mechanically, the remaining mucilage comes off through controlled fermentation or mechanically, and then the bean dries. The result is usually more clearly drawn, with pronounced acidity.

Honey

A middle road: pulping is mechanical, but the mucilage stays on the bean through drying. The method combines the sweetness and body of a natural with more clarity.

Natural

The whole cherry dries around the bean. Fruit sugars and aromatics migrate into it, which gives more intense, fruit-forward profiles and makes higher demands on the drying.

Experimental fermentation

Managed or extended fermentations now form a group of their own. Our catalogue records them as “experimental”; we state the exact method per lot on request.
