This one is for the lovers of da Funk! A really jammy fruity coffee this extended fermentation natural is the result of an ongoing project we've been involved in through Nordic Approach. Juan Saldarriaga has been experimenting with different varieties and processing techniques and we are delighted to be the beneficiaries.
We are getting extreme ripe fruits from this coffee - although be warned if a clean sweet washed coffee is your thing, this may not be the coffee you are looking for.
But for the rest of you freaks - have at it!

The answer to boring coffee (ordered 3x!)
I would caution that if you are someone who prefers clean, sweet-washed coffee, El Encanto #3 may not be your 'cup of tea'. However, this coffee is definitely worth trying for those who are open to trying new things and enjoy exploring different flavors. It's a great example of the exciting and ever-evolving world of specialty coffee. Overall, I highly recommend this one to anyone looking for a departure from the usual coffee flavors. It's a coffee that genuinely showcases the artistry and creativity of the roasters and farmers who produce it, and it's an experience that every coffee lover should try at least once.

First cup was so fruity it reminded us of red wine. Delicious and complex all the way through.
