The Aji variety has a unique character, with the potential to express sweet, floral, and aromatic notes. For this lot from Finca La Esmeralda, we wanted to highlight those qualities and bring out even more of the variety’s personality through an 80-hour fermentation.

In the cup, we find notes of chocolate, honey, mandarin, and ripe pineapple. The flavor brings together rich cacao, honey-like sweetness, and dried yellow fruits, creating a sweet and expressive profile. It has a creamy body, a combination of citrus and lactic acidity, and a long, lingering finish that brings all these flavors together.
