Lot GN-05: AUROMAR CATALINA NATURAL – 468
FINCA LA AURORA is located between 1570 and 1770 MASL in the highlands of Candela, Chiriquí, Panama. FINCA LA AURORA is comprised of 30.5 hectares. The total farmed area is 14.5 hectares in the lower 2/3 of the elevation. The rest remains preserved forest.
Because of altitude and the microclimate from the forest, the
harvest begins late in December and ends in mid-March. The beans
take full benefit of the drop-in humidity between December and
January at season´s change, and the sunny dry summer that runs
through mid-April. The outcome such combination, forest, shade and
late harvest is a limited-supply, highly complex
coffee, very consistent every harvest.
The Auromar Geishas:
All the Auromar production is hand collected at the peak of
ripeness.
Harvesters are paid a premium and a bonus well above the
industry standards so to carefully pick only the ripe cherries.
After collection in the field, the beans are micro selected upon
arrival at the mill, from here the Auromar Geisha is processed
either as a regular Washed or processed as Natural.

Coffee details
| Description: | This year, with selected beans from our heavily shaded Lot 4, we developed the Catalina Natural an anaerobic process coffee. On a very competitive final round, Catalina came fifth in the BOP. Is important to note that the first five places of the geisha naturals came from the Geisha highlands in the westernmost side of the terroir. The coffee is a creamy cup with the classic umami notes from the fermented process creating a funky combination of florals and sweet-sour fruits like pineapple and plums. |
