Red apple, panela sugar, dried apricot

Finca El Puente

Marysabel Caballero and Moisés Herrera farm above Marcala in La Paz, and El Puente is the lot we have bought from them every year since 2022. Parainema is a stubborn, low-yielding varietal that most producers will not plant; grown at 1,600 metres and fermented in tank for eighteen hours before a slow shaded dry, it gives a cup that tastes closer to a good Central American than its yield deserves. Red apple, panela sugar and a dried-apricot finish, with enough structure to survive milk if that is how you drink it. We roast this one to sit comfortably in both a filter and a longer espresso — one of the few coffees on the shelf where we mean that.
