Ecuador Arnaud Causse Pacamara

About This Coffee

This Pacamara comes from Finca Terrazas del Pisque managed by Arnaud Causse and Sebastian Garcés. The farm consists of 39 hectares of land, with 17 of those hectares dedicated to growing coffee. It is tucked into a cloud forest at an elevation of 2,080 MASL and has around 10,000 coffee trees in production, including Caturra, Pacamara, Bourbon, Java and Sidra. Only the ripest cherries are selected for the Washed lots. Cherries are then floated remove over/under-ripes and then washed with clean water. After rinsing, the coffee is de-pulped and left to ferment in tanks for 48 hours. The coffee is then dried in African beds for 15 – 18 days, depending on the weather. This lot has a profound depth of sweetness, and delicate floral quality. Subtle, but expansive, we're tasting sweet tea, raspberry compote, and date syrup.
