INTRO
Colombia's new harvest is churning out gem after gem, and La Estrella is a delicious recent arrival. This coffee is honey-processed, but the process notes are extremely mild and the fruit flavours are abundant. In the cup: vibrant cranberry and orange, with subtle cantaloupe in the finish.
THE PRODUCER
Carlos Estrella created this lot from cherries harvested on two sub-plots of his farm, La Jacoba and El Mirador. These are the plots where he planted Geisha and other exotic varieties, the first in La Unión to do so.
THE PROCESS
The Honey process for this lot involves:
🍒 Hand-picking — ripe cherries picked by hand
⚙️ Mechanical pulping — cherries pulped mechanically
⏱️ Anaerobic fermentation — 48 hours, mucilage intact
☀️ Drying — 20–22 days
The 48-hour anaerobic fermentation with the mucilage left on is the defining step. It builds abundant fruit while keeping the process notes mild.
THE CUP
Fruit-forward and vibrant: cranberry and orange lead, with a subtle cantaloupe finish.
