SL28 Darwin Moreno Espresso

El Cielito is an internationally renowned region for the excellence of its coffees and the uniqueness of their flavor profiles. This recognition is largely due to the privileged microclimate that characterizes the area, as well as the adaptation and evolution of different coffee varieties that thrive in this environment. In particular, the SL28 variety, a jewel in itself, has found its home in this unique corner of the world, even though this variety typically flourishes in African countries such as Kenya and Tanzania.

Our partnership with Darwin Coffee has been a cornerstone of our commitment to coffee excellence. Since 2016, we have had the pleasure of working closely with Darwin, whose exceptional dedication to coffee cultivation is reflected in every cup we enjoy. His focus on the sustainability of the region and his relentless pursuit of innovation in fermentation processes have inspired us to focus on the post-harvest phase of this extraordinary coffee.

The process for this micro-lot of SL28 variety is truly special. The cherries are meticulously selected before undergoing a fermentation process in tanks and are subsequently washed. They are then transferred to raised African drying beds to reach the optimal moisture level. Each stage of this process is carried out with an attention to detail that reflects the very essence of El Cielito and the excellence of the SL28 variety coffee grown here.
