$25.00

100g tin

A fruit-bomb of a coffee and a unique varietal, this Maragogype is extremely expressive and delicate. This coffee underwent an additional carbonic maceration stage before a controlled drying on raised beds for 36 hours. This technique, borrowed from wine making, provides a more intense, fruity body and sparkling texture.

When added to maragogype, a naturally fruity and floral coffee, the result is mind blowing.

This single varietal blend is a combined lot from the Gold Mountain Coffee Growers members.
