A sweet, round profile with good balance and structure. In the cup: orange, chocolate cake, and almond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach individual lot here is so small that separation is impossible, so they are combined into this high-quality community lot. Farm elevations range from 1,600 to 1,800 masl, with Bourbon, Caturra, and Oro Azteca. While ilse typically seeks single-producer lots, finding them in the Mazateca region is nearly impossible: farms are usually under one hectare, and the old-stock Typica and Bourbon planted here yield very little cherry. Many producers are of Mazateco descent and primarily speak their native language, making communication a challenge. Sourcing from this part of Mexico is difficult, but the rewards are certainly worth it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCherries are picked at peak ripeness and left to ferment in cherry before being de-pulped. They are then wet-fermented for 48–72 hours, washed, and dried on raised beds for 14–17 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe in-cherry rest followed by a 48–72 hour wet fermentation is the defining combination. It builds the sweet, round profile and chocolate-forward structure behind the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSweet, round, and well balanced: orange brightness over a chocolate cake richness, finishing on sweet almond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🍊 Orange 🍰 Chocolate Cake 🌰 Almond\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ilse Coffee","offers":[{"title":"Omni \/ 250g \/ October 19th","offer_id":59103244616054,"sku":"ILSE-AGUA-MARIPOSA-FIELD-BLEND-WASHED-WASHED-250G-OCT19","price":19.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/9152\/5021\/files\/ilse_logo_1_-43-cropped.png?v=1792752867","url":"https:\/\/sigmacoffee.co.uk\/de\/products\/ilse-coffee-agua-mariposa-community-lot-washed-field-blend-mexico","provider":"Sigma Coffee UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
