DAY 15

THE PRODUCER

Moises Hidardo Hernandez is a fourth generation producer and also passionate about the material. Coming from a production family, he grew up and learned the best practices and methods since his young childhood on his parents' farm named Cascaritas in Honduras. Located more than 1200 meters above sea level, on the mountainous plateaus of Plan del Rosario in the department of Ocotepeque, it is on this farm that Moises decided to take over from his father by taking over the management of the large production. Being a big fan of experimentation and now the manager of the farm, he decided to move forward with his dream in 2015, planting his very first harvest processed through special fermentation. It is in fact since this day in 2015 that this finca, Carcaritas, has been recognized for creating experimental, extravagant, but above all very tasty batches.

TREATMENT

To promote lactic fermentation, Moises seeks to create an ideal environment for the growth of lactobacilli cultures, the type of culture used in dairy production that generates lactic acids. He will select perfectly ripe cherries with as high a sugar content as possible, then place these cherries in an anaerobic environment such as a sealed vat or barrel. Throughout the fermentation process that follows, it carefully monitors and controls temperature, pH levels and available oxygen to achieve the right conditions for lactobacilli to flourish and dominate the fermentation. Then, as soon as this process ends, the grains are left to dry on drying beds until they reach a moisture content of less than 10% to be bagged and ready for delivery.

PROFILE AND BOTANICAL VARIETY

This coffee is a Pacas x Obata fermented in lactic acid which has the effect of adding a more intriguing element to the cup. Find an unexpected freshness of melon with a sweet acidity of lemongrass and grapefruit. Secondly, you will discover the juicy note of peach and soft melting chocolate accompanied by panela on the tongue. And finally, the spices of cinnamon and ginger gently sting to clearly distinguish the latter.

Good tasting !
