To date, they have planted and trialled over 60 varieties at the farm, with the objective to work out which are best suited to the land and this particular latitude and elevation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFloripondio’s variety garden is large — every year, one to two hectares of it are devoted to planting new varieties. Their goal is to consistently increase volume for the most productive three to four varieties, keeping up to two hectares of land exclusively for varieties like Gesha, Batian and SL34. Every year, some 30% of the farm is pruned, as this promotes stronger growth and keeps trees healthy. Because weather conditions in Samaipata have become more challenging over the years, the Rodríguez family are prioritising rarer coffee varieties that produce an exquisite cup profile. This particular lot is 100% Bourbon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__text\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__text\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__group\"\u003e\n\u003ca class=\"accordion__label\" href=\"#\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProcessing\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__text\"\u003eAt all of the Rodríguez farms, Pedro hires pickers that are trained to select only the very ripest cherries, and multiple passes are made through the farm throughout the harvest to ensure the coffee is picked at its prime. The Rodríguez family has found that the very ripest (almost purple) cherries provide the best cup.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePedro draws a lot of inspiration from the wine industry in his approach to coffee production, and is always innovating and trialling different processing techniques. This lot was processed with experimental techniques, part of the Rodriguez’ family’s long term strategy to achieve the greatest distinction and diversity in their special lots. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter being inspected and weighed, cherries were carefully sorted by weight using water, and floaters were removed. Following this, the coffee was disinfected, in a similar process used for wine grapes and pulped. The mucilage-covered parchment was then washed with fresh, clean water and dried in ‘stationary box’ (or coco) dryers for two weeks. These boxes are series of steel containers that are typically used for drying peanuts. They use a gentle flow of warm air from below the coffee bed to dry the parchment slowly and evenly. Coffee was stirred manually at regular intervals to further ensure it dried at a uniform rate. The mostly dried parchment was finished off using a ‘guardiola,’ a horizontal, rotating drum that gets rid of moisture by creating a warm, consistent flow of air around the coffee, until it reached 11.5% humidity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cata Coffee","offers":[{"title":"200g \/ Whole Beans","offer_id":49126357532842,"sku":null,"price":34.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g \/ Espresso","offer_id":49126357565610,"sku":null,"price":34.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g \/ Stovetop","offer_id":49126357598378,"sku":null,"price":34.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g \/ Aeropress","offer_id":49126357631146,"sku":null,"price":34.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g \/ Pour Over -
