From the roaster

This natural lot reflects both Nariño’s high elevation and Amparo’s disciplined approach to processing. At 1,950 meters, slow cherry maturation preserves acidity while building sugar density. Careful whole-cherry fermentation and slow drying in parabolic dryers allow Red Apple and Limeade to remain precise and articulate, with Panela adding grounded sweetness through the finish. The result is a poised, light-bodied cup defined by clarity and balance.
