URDD Java Natural Filter

Luis Alberto is a true legend of specialty coffee. On his farm, the coffee develops a juicier flavor profile with greater depth on the palate.

The "Un Regalo de Dios" (URDD) farm is located in the Dipilto-Jalapa mountain range, with a pine cloud forest to the south and broadleaf forest to the east and north. It boasts an ideal microclimate with favorable temperatures and excellent conditions for coffee production. The farm's soil is sandy and loose, supporting a rich biodiversity of flora. Under Luis Alberto's management, the primary motivation is to support everyone involved, not only financially, but also in their daily lives.

The Java variety in this batch is quite special, as it originated on the island of Java from the Horn of Africa. Isolated, it evolved, creating a variety with narrow leaves and elongated fruit that develop a very delicate and complex profile in the cup.

The process applied to this batch is identical to that of the Cup of Excellence champion won by Luis Alberto himself in 2020. We must keep the details confidential to preserve its unique character and respect the producer's work. As far as we can tell, the cherries were hand-picked at their optimal ripeness. Subsequently, the whole cherries were spread out on raised African beds using a technique that produces this extraordinary flavor profile.
