We met Jaime about two years ago; his farm is small, his coffee so good, the result of slowly selecting just the red ripe cherries. Jaime does his Natural by fermenting the cherries in open tanks with water, adding each day a new batch and letting them absorb all the sweetness from its own juice for 90 hours. Then he spreads them in drying beds for 4 to 6 weeks until it reaches 11% moisture. The result? A sweet cup, with notes of red apple, strawberry and vanilla.
