Edition four of Spechelon is a magical thermal shock proceess Sidra varietal from forward-thinking grower Luz Ángela Rojas & her farm - Finca Chorro Alto.
Luz Ángela grew up on her family’s coffee farm but initially took a different path, studying at university and working in healthcare for several years. Covid brought her back home, where she threw herself into innovating and improving the farm’s practices.
Today she applies a meticulous, data-driven approach to agronomy that sets her coffee apart. This magical Sidra varietal lot is washed at 45c to generate thermal shock. It is then fermented underwater for 72h at 25c or below with the addition of yeast and a starter culture before being dried mechanically for 76h.
The result is a coffee with a stunning aroma of rose, alongside flavours of lychee and raspberry in the cup.
