This microlot represents El Vergel’s experimental excellence—harvested at peak ripeness, then fermented anaerobically to intensify its natural sugars.

History 
Elias and Shady dove into the world of experimental coffee, not just for the love of a good brew, but with a mission to sprinkle a bit of magic into the lives of the hardworking families on their El Vergel Estate project. Armed with curiosity and a touch of wizardry, they collaborated with Kaapo Paavolainen to conjure up a fermentation technique using Aspergillus Oryzae – a bit of coffee alchemy to enhance both flavor and life quality!
