Tasting notes: Apple, Hazelnut, Dulce De Leche
Under the leadership of father, Ernesto José Valverde Solís, this family business, Vara Blanca handles every step of production, from planting and harvesting to processing in their own micro-mill.Their processing techniques include washed, honey, and natural methods, with infrastructure improvements like raised drying beds and a solar dryer, and careful cherry selection, sometimes requiring up to five pickings during a harvest to ensure only perfectly ripe cherries. Coffees from Vara Blanca are noted for their vibrant and nuanced flavor profiles: sweetness, bright acidity, fruit notes, and often creamy or nutty undertones, attributes accentuated by altitude, varietal choice (such as Catuai, Caturra, Milenio), and meticulous post-harvest care.
For this Red Honey release, some mucilage remains on the parchment after pulping. The coffee then dries on raised beds in progressively thinner layers, with frequent turning. This preparation complements the Catuai’s apple, hazelnut and dulce-de-leche profile, with Hatch recommending filter or modern espresso.
