Roasted in Christchurch by Heron Coffee Roasters, suited to white or black coffee. This what we are currently serving for anything with milk in the bar. Naturally processed, grown at 1350 - 1400m above sea level. The Araponga region is a micro-region within the Matas de Minas in the estate of Minas Gerais. The region is embraced by the Atlantic forest , which makes it very suitable for the production of specialty coffees. Another characteristic of the Araponga region is its microclimate. Sometimes a farm can have different microclimates from one crop to another. This contributes to different nuances of flavor in the cup. This region is privileged with high mountains that lead to a range of temperatures and levels of humidity creating the perfect place to grow amazing coffees. This coffee went through the following process from the harvest, it was taken to the washing machine for separation by density. Then, cherries were taken to the suspended beds, which remained open for the first two days. In these first two days, the coffee layers were kept thicker to stimulate the fruit’s nar natural fermentation of the fruits. After two days, when the moisture content was lower, the layers were thinned and the suspended bed was covered, to ensure a slow and uniform drying. The rest of the drying took an average of 10 days. Roasted by Heron Coffee Roasters to suit white and black espresso drinks. Our suggested brew recipe is 20g beans in, to 40g espresso out, in 30 seconds.
