While in Peru, Noe got to briefly meet Germán Carranza, another member of the Carranza family whose coffees we’ve really come to admire. Germán’s farm is in Amazonas, just outside of Jaén, where he and his extended family have been growing coffee for generations.

This lot is a variety Germán calls Tres Cogollos. It’s believed to be a natural mutation of Villa Sarchí and Bourbon. What makes it stand out, aside from its later ripening and rounded seed shape, is how the seedlings often sprout into three distinct plants without pruning. It’s not something we’ve seen before.

The process is a careful two-stage fermentation: 24 hours in cherry, followed by 120 hours in sealed anaerobic barrels. After washing, it’s dried under shade on raised beds for about two weeks.

We’re tasting something layered and tropical. Piña colada, lychee, raspberry lemonade. Bright and cooling, with a soft structure that makes it hard to put down.

Another stunner from the Carranza family. We’re excited to share it with you.
