For this lot, fermentation is skipped entirely: cherries are selected at full ripeness, then dried whole in a container dryer under constant airflow, working the way dehydrating fruit works, so moisture leaves whilst sugar stays to build sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 100% Ethiosar lot is made up of single-day lots from eight farms in Caranavi that are part of Fincas Los Rodríguez, found at elevations between 1400–1800 metres above sea level. The farms are owned by Pedro Rodríguez and his family. Over the last decade, Rodríguez has worked tirelessly to build production and expand the market for Bolivian specialty coffee, helping hundreds of local farmers recognise and realise the potential of their land and crops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoasted by Dak Coffee Roasters, founded in Amsterdam in 2019 by Louis-Philippe Boucher and Veronique Lagarde.

The result is a genetically rich tree with high resistance to rust and disease that produces around 40% greater yields than traditional varieties—whilst its close relation to Sudan Rume gives it strong potential for high cup quality and distinct flavour when grown carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Natural process at Fincas Los Rodríguez involves:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e🍒 \u003cstrong\u003eRipeness Selection\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cherries selected at full ripeness\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e🚫 \u003cstrong\u003eNo Fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e — Fermentation skipped entirely\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e💨 \u003cstrong\u003eContainer Drying\u003c\/strong\u003e — Whole cherries dried under constant airflow in a container dryer, working the way dehydrating fruit works\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fermentation-free drying method allows moisture to leave the cherry whilst sugar stays behind, building the sweetness that defines this lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmaretto sweetness leads the cup, layered with ripe strawberry jam and dark plum, with a character that's slightly boozy but very clean nonetheless.
