This naturally processed coffee is a 100% Borboncito variety micro-lot from Santa Clara Estate, in Antigua. This is our second year supporting the Zelaya family, our first weith a natural coffee. Attie and Will visited Antigua in 2019 and are amazed at the progression of coffee producers in this region. They are also dying to get back for the cuisine...
The Zelaya family has been growing coffee for more than 100 years. Borboncito is a natural, dwarf mutation of the Bourbon variety that thrives in Antigua, as it is high-yielding and produces similar quality to its parent Bourbon. Ricardo Zelaya, who produced this coffee has been working hard to perfect his naturals over the years.
Coffee is shade grown and hand-picked and sorted. This special micro-lot has been hand-picked by special pickers, who are employed and paid higher wages specifically for their skill at selecting only the ripest and most perfect cherries. After processing at the wet mill, the coffee is dried on African beds in a greenhouse until Ricardo is satisfied he has a winner!
