Recollection of cherries + fermentation in dark plastic bags for 24 hours. Afterwards, the coffee is dried on African beds for 19 days. During the most warming hours, they cover it with plastic nets like in Ethiopia. Nestled in the lush landscape of Copey, Tarrazu, Finca Voo stands as a testament to the vision and hard work of Ivan Solis and his family. This esteemed 40-hectare coffee farm, whose name signifies 'fly' in Portuguese, embodies the realization of their dreams. Finca Voo has consistently produced exceptional coffee, winning #1 in the Costa Rica Cup of Excellence 2024. The family behind Beneficio Santa Fe has a rich histroy in coffee. Ivan Solis, the owner, has been part of the coffee industry for his entire life, beginning with his parents' farm. In 2018, he ventured into coffee production independently, purchasing Santa Mara and establishing his Beneficio, Santa Fe together with his wife, Leandra Cordero. The couple, alongside their children Solsire and Ivan Jr., form a dedicated team where each member contributes uniquely to the farm's success. Leandra handles administrative tasks, Solsire manages commercial operations and Ivan Jr aspires to become an engineer to oversee production.

Context

Orange County is a natural-processed offering from Dayglow, sourced from Finca Voo and processed at Beneficio Santa Fe in Costa Rica's Tarrazu region, specifically Copey. Natural processing—where the entire fruit dries around the bean—typically emphasizes heavier fruit character and fermented sweetness, and this lot channels that profile toward cherry notes as identified by the roaster.
