story
this reposado process is a classic for the don eli family.
Ripe catuai cherries were harvested then left to ferment open to the air at the wet mill for two days before pulping and setting to dry in raised beds.
Marianela and Perry of Selva Coffee handle the export, and Trabocca handles the importation before it is freighted to Lulo HQ.
