COFFEE. ROASTED. PROPERLY.
Grown on the Chombi Block, the highest elevations of Eugene Altieri's Mina Estate, this lot is named for one of his grandchildren. Only ripe cherries are handpicked from dense, compact clusters and rested whole overnight before floating and spreading on raised African beds to dry for five days. The cherries are then sealed and fermented over four days, with final drying carried out in a refrigerated chamber over thirty days — Altieri's signature Dry Fermentation process, executed with characteristic precision.
