About Bethania | Nicaragua
This is a stunning high cup score anaerobic fermented natural with tasting notes that include wine gums, red apple, grape and a caramel like sweetness.
Ripe Java cherries are hand-picked in the cool morning and delivered the same afternoon to Bethania wet mill close to the border of Honduras, ensuring sugars remain intact and uncontrolled fermentation is kept in check. Whole fruit is then sealed in food-grade tanks fitted with one-way valves, where the cherries ferment anaerobically for 48–72 hours; pH is checked twice daily.
Once drained, the coffee begins a two-stage patio dry: for the first five to six days it rests under shade on patios carpeted with dried husk and covered by black mesh to moderate temperatures at this lower altitude (900 masl), before being moved into full sun until moisture reaches 10–11 percent.
Cherries are turned every three to four hours and heaped during the hottest midday period to prevent surface cracking, bringing total drying to roughly 20–25 days. After a 30-day resting period in GrainPro to stabilise humidity, the parchment is hulled, size- and density-sorted, colour-sorted and hand-picked to export-ready zero-defect standards. -

Very nice tasting coffee, and lovely to drink in the morning.
Very happy with our purchase. Same quick delivery as always and a delicious coffee. Thanks!
Bought this alongside the more expensive Geisha and we much preferred this and will be re ordering. Very multi layered but smooth ,lots of flavour and great lingering on the tongue . Think Geisha is just too subtle for our taste . Aeropress with steamed milk
Very nice coffee, well balanced notes
I can't review the coffee because I have not yet received it! It's currently in Warrington ??!!
