Our filter provides the opportunity to feature coffees that can go from adventurous to delicate. A Centroamericano varietal, created from crossing the sarchimor T-5296 & a wild Rume Sudan variety. This cultivar has been distributed among producers in Central America over the last decade and the first productive harvests are now available. The climate and the setup at Aquiares is well suited to the growing and handling of such complex nutritional needs. This hybrid was especially selected for natural processing because of its high mucilage content). The cherries are floated & washed with fresh water but not depulped. Afterwards, coffee is placed in a stainless steel tank with a one way air valve, after 2 hours an anaerobic environment is created within the tank and left for a total time of 24 hours.
