His father managed his farm until 2019 when he joined him in the pursuit of offering special coffees like this. The attention to detail in processing and the unique honey process used on this lot produces complexity and a radiant mouthfeel. Flavors like eucalyptus, normally found in exotic varieties, are present in this offering, along with lemon curd and candied green apple.
