Brewing Methods

A washed Caturra grown at Finca Vallejito in Pichincha, Ecuador, at around 1,500 m.a.s.l. by producer Ricardo Vargas, a former food engineer who took over the farm founded in memory of his father-in-law. After the washed process and a slow three-to-four-week drying, the cup opens with blackberry, shifts to tangy nectarine as it cools, and carries caramelized sweetness, lively acidity, and a finish of crisp green grape and citrus.
