Magali and Alexander Delgado, the masterminds behind the farm, have elevated the quality of their coffee through the cultivation of prestigious varietals and meticulous processing methods. This limited release will highlight their esteemed SL-28 varietal, which, after a distinctive anaerobic fermentation process, results in a complex, fruit-forward coffee with intense flavors and vibrant acidity.
