Profile
Finca El Fuerte is one of Agricafe’s farms in the Samaipata region. The Samaipata region has great potential for specialty coffee but also has great challenges as the region deals with extreme temperature fluctuations; it has very cold nights which makes growing coffee potentially risky as frost damage is always a concern and it can get very hot during the day. However, it is these cold nights that help to extend the ripening season as the coffee fruit-sugars develop slowly which results in a nice balance in the coffee. We are delighted to have this natural process, caturra varietal from El Fuerte this year. Its dried fruit and heavy sweetness show the natural process method at its full potential.
