- Tropical fruit and raspberry in fragrance and aroma. Up front notes of blackberry and molasses, aftertaste of red currant, plum, honey. Bright malic and tartaric acidity. Syrupy mouthfeel and heavy body.
- This coffee offers juicy tropical fruit flavors with a bright acidity. Roasting at the darker end of a light roast (about 90 Agtron) will complement these fruit notes without muting the acidity too much. Roasting medium (about 80 to 90 Agtron) will result in more cooked-fruit notes with a muted acidity and very heavy body.
Finca Las Dos Sofias is located in the Alotepec-Metapan mountain range and surrounded by El Trifinio National Park, where Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador share borders. The farm implements practices such as pruning, weed control, and fertilization based on soil analysis, and gives employment to some 200 workers during harvest and from 30 to 50 permanent jobs are demanded the rest of the year. Finca Las Dos Sofias uses their own nursery to replant old or damaged trees.
The local school was built on donated land by the family. The Valiente family is very sensitive to the need for education in their rural community. They also provide workers free land to grow their food crops. Part of the farm is maintained as pine and oak forest as part of a strategy to diversify income sources. The mill is only 20 minutes away from the farm, where coffee is immediately sent after the harvest and cherries are sorted. Before sending the sample to the dry mill, cupping is performed to check the quality of the coffee.
