About the coffee
As Sabarica founder Jackz Lee continues to work tirelessly to improve coffee plantation and production in the area, his efforts are apparent with the crops — the coffee just keeps getting better.
Only ripe cherries are picked and washed with fresh clean mountain water to remove all unripe floaters. Then, the coffee cherries are poured into a depulper to remove its cherry skin, leaving a thin layer of sticky mucilage on the beans. The beans are then sundried indoors on raised beds for 7 – 14 days, protecting them from rain and strong wind. A medium-light roast on this lot yields a sweet, cascara tea-like cup with notes of cacao nibs and red dates.
