TASTING NOTES | STRAWBERRY, GRAPES, LYCHEE, DRIED APRICOT, WHITE FLOWER FINISH At Finca Los Naranjos, producer Gloria Monteros combines her training in agriculture and waterway protection with her passion for a great cup of coffee to produce a clean, bright cup whose round, creamy body is sweet, balanced and complex. Gloria Monteros’s background in agricultural and environmental studies gives her a strong foundation upon which to build new skills and improve her coffee quality. One way she’s applying her technical knowledge is by using soil analysis to determine optimal fertilization techniques. She’s also using her knowledge to control fermentation and pinpoint the right time to halt fermentation. Her focus on producing high quality coffee enables her to increase her livelihood while protecting the surrounding environment. Gloria raises honeybees to help pollinate her trees and to provide additional income and nutrition. Gloria selectively handpicks ripe, red cherry and processes it on her farm. Cherry is visually hand sorted, pulped and fermented. After fermentation, coffee is washed in clean water and then dried. Gloria rakes parchment frequently to ensure even drying.
