Bright, elegant, with an exceptionally clean finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt El Mirante, high in the Peruvian Andes, the Mendoza family has worked the same three hectares of land together for generations. Parents teach their children how to grow better coffee. Children gradually take on more responsibility on the farm. That way, knowledge is passed down from generation to generation, just like the coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrown at:\u003c\/strong\u003e El Mirante, Cusco, Peru – 2,050 metres altitude\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoasted in:\u003c\/strong\u003e the Netherlands\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoast:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light roast\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully Washed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e floral, citrus, stone fruit, soft caramel and a refined sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAs always: one small lot. When it’s gone, it’s really gone. And trust us, you don’t want to miss this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDRIED FOR TWENTY DAYS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 2,050 metres, everything moves just a little more slowly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAfter picking, only the ripest coffee cherries are pulped and washed. The parchment then dries for almost 20 days on raised drying beds in the shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe cool mountain air lets the coffee develop slowly into an exceptionally bright and elegant cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMEET THE MENDOZA FAMILY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEl Mirante is small: just three hectares! But that’s exactly why the Mendoza family knows every tree, and every coffee plant gets individual attention. Everyone pitches in, from picking to fermenting and drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFor them, coffee isn’t just about today’s harvest, but above all about the next generation. The knowledge parents have built up over many years is passed on to their children every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAnd you can taste those years of wisdom in the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT IS FULLY WASHED?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a washed coffee, the fruit pulp is removed right after picking. The coffee then ferments slowly in the cool mountain climate before the beans are carefully washed and slowly dried.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe result? A coffee that gives its origin all the room it needs. Don’t expect over-the-top funky flavours, but rather a clear, fresh and elegant cup where the quality of the bean takes centre stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVALLE INCA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGood coffee starts with a system that helps farmers produce better coffee and get paid fairly for it. That’s why the Mendoza family works with Valle Inca, a network of more than 400 coffee farmers in Cusco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eValle Inca supports farmers with training, quality improvement and access to specialty markets, so more value flows back to the people who grow the coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eExactly how a coffee supply chain should work, if you ask us!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMEET THE ROASTER: JOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHang on, coffee roasted in the Netherlands? Yep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAlmost everything we make is roasted at origin, in Africa. That’s what FairChain is all about: creating as much value as possible where coffee grows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBut these Microlots are different. Jose, our Head Roaster and Quality Control specialist, roasts these mini-batches in the Netherlands first. That lets him develop the perfect roast profile for each unique coffee. Our FairChain roasters in Africa then take over the profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThink of it as a test drive before the real journey begins. So this batch is a one-off: roasted by Jose in the Netherlands, just for this Microlot. One more reason why, when it’s gone, it’s really gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFLORAL • CITRUS • STONE FRUIT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExpect a bright, elegant cup with floral aromas, fresh citrus, ripe stone fruit and a soft caramel sweetness.
